They have done a hatchet job on every one they deal with including
their customers with their lies about their own products, the shoddy
quality of their products and the FUD they spread against their
competition. They actually pay people to spread lies in public
forums. They buy what good press they obtain. They have stolen other
companies IP and used it in their own products. They have been found
guilty of being predatory monopoly several times, twice in the United
States Federal courts. They just buy their way out of it all. If any
corporation deserved the death penalty it would be microsoft.

Microsoft is a multiple convicted FELON with a unique historical
turn, it is the FIRST corporation convicted as a corporation, AND as a
PERSON, in US law, and, in double convictions! Also a felon convict on
two more continents, and under indictment in at several countries, right
now!
Microsoft lost and/or settled at least 400 civil cases involving their
theft of IP, and the inclusion into their products, when they had
violated the terms of contracts, and refused to pay for those patented
products or copyrighted works.
Microsoft corporation has been using their special virus programs to
control computers that run their products.
Yes, there is more, and worse than all that. The DOJ went light on
them, and the Probation Board majority are Microsoft VPs, who rescinded
the probation, last fall, and extended it for two more years.
Honor among thieves? Hardly. There are ulterior demonic reasons for
everything that Microsoft does. Like the "shutdown script: in Vista.
Don't go back into that dark alley to confront the scum who mugged you,
just walk away, 'go towards the light' and freedom of Open Source
GNU/Linux, *BSD, and check out the 310 Free LiveCDroms,
http://livecdlist.com of which I prefer to introduce folks first to
http://pclinuxos.com and http://www.mepis.org
Linuxiac, freedom advocate.
