No, but you ought to have time to learn about events, or recall events, that
are egregious enough to cause you to maintain a healthy suspicion of a company
that has a long history of bad behavior, and which is /still/ being fined
for bad behavior.
Far too many people don't realize just how arrogant and predatory Microsoft
has been. They see these cutesy ads on teevee, but know nothing about all
the businesses and projects that Microsoft has torpedoed.
When you see the scope of verifiable activities that Microsoft has engaged
in, it is somewhat sobering.
They would kill Linux (and Apple) if they could. Never forget that.
