Comparing ticks to Microsoft is an insult to ticks. They are just trying to survive,
whereas in Microsoft it's an extortion scheme set up to make people like Gates

This is why people should ask their congresspeople to haul Microsoft into court,
using the RICO Act. What Microsoft does here is racketeering, plain and simple.
If the laws are not being enforced (against the rich), what good are they?
