Where would the company be without subsidies, government purchases, or purchases from other government favorites? Those hand outs, while obnoxious waste of taxpayer money, pale next to the legal protection given binary files, aka copyright, and the ongoing war against sharing that threatens everyone’s our right to software freedom, publication, free speech, due process, assembly and so on and so forth. Microsoft is more at home in Communist China.
