Well, that's basically what's happening, since their
lobbying was not effective ..
No it's not what happened. What happened was Microsoft tried
and failed to dilute laws that would protect the electoral
system against abuse.
It was only after failing to corrupt the system that they
refused the code.
No, *Duh!g*. That's not true. Look at the dates of the
articles. Hint: they're in reverse order, but I wouldn't
expect you to be able to figure that out with your limited
cognative ability.
The article titled "Micorosoft says - We won't escrow" is
dated April 16, 2007. The article titled "Microsoft Muscles
the NYS Legislature" is dated June 16, 2007.
Now please, try to explain how April comes after June, *Duh!g*.
Why don't you stop desperately flailing around trying to find
arguments you clearly aren't capable of intellectually making.
Logical thought is clearly not your strong point, *Duh!g*.
Hmmmm ..... interesting ..... must abusively speak improperly of
one's name or nym in an insulting manner.

7.6 Trespasser Disinformation Tactics
[quote]
[3.] Put your opponent off guard by insulting him. The liberal
use of profanity and vulgarisms can be very effective,
particularly when used against you more dignified opponents.
Your experience as a school yard bully can be handy here.
[4.] Be patronizing, condescending and present an air of
superiority. It may hide your inferiority to the casual reader.
Use phrases like "kid" or "son", to elevate your relative
apparent authority by attempting to diminish that of the Linux
advocate you are addressing.

Sounds more like Erik is the one who is "flailing around trying
