How Microsoft bought China
,----[ Quote ]
| When all is said and done, the real reason why Microsoft is "winning" in
| China and has won elsewhere is that Microsoft is willing to break the law,
| pay the fines, dump products on the market at far below cost, and continue on
| in the belief that in the long run the costs of doing business the Microsoft
| way will win out over the higher quality, security and features of Mac OS X
| and the Linux desktop.

Watch the photos. Funny how Microsoft bragged about the value of the software
in a press release about these raids when it's in fact dumping.
Watch how Microsoft and the Chilean government conspired to sell the citizens.
This received no press coverage in the West.
Intel faces antitrust charges in the EU at the moment. Similar crimes
("dumping") are assumed.

The day Chile was Bought by Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Just today, a secret agreement between MS and the Chilean Government came to
| light. In it, every citizen was sold as a potential user of a Windows Live
| Spaces model where every SSN is linked to, overbypassing any privacy term and
| cashing Bill some bucks. It wouldn't be so awful to all if that agreement
| wasn't aprooved yet (Spanish follows).
