Microsoft Has Not Changed Since Being Investigated (and Prosecuted) for Crimes at a Federal Level

“This anti-trust thing will blow over. We haven’t changed our business practices at all.”

--Bill Gates



1000000 questions in a row: Corporate media



Summary: The media keeps telling us a bunch of worthless junk about Gates "saving the world" and Microsoft becoming a "nice" and "gentle" (or "soft") company, but nothing could be further from the truth

THE timing of the Bill Gates deposition series seems apt. Microsoft is committing the very same crimes, as noted for instance a few days ago in this article (publisher infiltrated by Bill Gates some years ago, to the point where they removed Gates critics):



The Verge on Vista 10

People who insist that Microsoft has changed often turn out to be receiving Microsoft's money (like Deb Icaza at OSI for instance). Those who claim that "GAFA" is the real problem have successfully been indoctrinated by the worst abuser out there. With the Linux Foundation thoroughly bribed as well as infiltrated, nowadays we see the same in the OSI, which took Microsoft's bribes about a year afterwards.

"In the coming days we'll continue unearthing more old stuff from the antitrust days (before the concept of antitrust became eternally fossilised)."We're not exactly optimistic about the whole thing. Microsoft and Gates keep corrupting their competitors and critics. Like the cult they are, they accept nothing but their own way and the concept of competition isn't tolerated. In the coming days we'll continue unearthing more old stuff from the antitrust days (before the concept of antitrust became eternally fossilised).
