Microsoft wonât be dominating the OS much longer
,----[ Quote ]
| SOFTWARE COLOSSUS Microsoft's dominance of
| the IT industry will disappear within five
| years, as it loses its grip on a facet of
| the industry where smartphone devices will
| be king.

The real, and unusual, story between Microsoft and Piracy
,----[ Quote ]
| But then the grief doesn't end here,
| because the problem will seem even worse if
| you ponder the fact that most people,
| around the world, who use computers can
| barely afford to pay their monthly bills,
| and that all these people are using pirated
| software because:
|
| * A) That's the only software they've
| ever known.
|
| And:
|
| * B) They cannot afford to pay for the
| annual licensing fee of a genuine copy.
|
| These people have been mass-hypnotized,
| they've been indoctrinated into believing
| that whatever MS gives them is right, and
| that MS software is the only software on
| Earth that actually works. Now, take under
| consideration that MS is a for-profit
| organization after all (Actually, MS is a
| for-nothing-but-profit organization, but ya
| know), and that sooner or later, MS will
| start collecting money in all ways
| possible.

Bing Search Tainted by Pro-Microsoft Results
,----[ Quote ]
| The first of the search results about the Microsoft Word question linked to a
| page about how expensive Manhattan is (Is Microsoft competing with Manhattan
| now?). The top responses to the "Is Microsoft Evil?" question were, get this,
| a link to a New York Times story about whether or not Google is considered
| evil, a link about proxy servers, and a link to a story about Microsoft being
| charitable. Wow.
