schestowitz__At least we know (or we should) that MS is evil; Google took GNU/Linux and re-branded it as Android (all completely legal, of course) but then wraps it up in masses of legal red-tape which most of us just sign up to without reading. This is where I see a line in the sand.Aug 30 18:31

schestowitzEven if the two companies were moral equivalents, which they are not, Microsoft is still the larger and more dangerous problem. What Google knows about Windows users is only a subset of what Microsoft knows. Microsoft's domination of desktops in government, banking, medicine and retail are also huge problems. It's true that Microsoft is fading from view as most people get most of their computing through cell phones, but the company ownsAug 30 08:53

schestowitzA supposedly free market is not correcting the problem. The Target credit disaster, for example, did not lead to visible change. The Microsoft press hid the root of the problem and swept it under the rug with help from the US government. You would expect an independent company to rip their expensive, Microsoft junk out after such a failure.Aug 30 08:53
