Arrogant Pricks

Yah the US really showed MS who's boss. Never mind they WERE found to be in the wrong. *shrugs* It doesn't really matter. Monarchy?s.. oops I mean presidents come and go. We will see MS back in court again and it will stick the next time or the time after that since they won?t have BUSH to cover their ASSets. Isn?t it amazing how MS was heading for a major slapdown pre 2000 and all of a sudden something changed in the tone of the DOJ. *rolls eyes* Impartial my butt.
Microsoft is a child. A child that is never disciplined. Consequently they think they can do whatever they want to whoever they want. Oh sure they were caught with their hand in the cookie jar and they are probably patting themselves on the back saying that was a close one but in the end without consequences we will see them back in court again. It may take another 6 years but it will happen and you know what? They can only hit those courts so many times before someone gets wise to how they are screwing the industry over. Sure I?m bitter about the results of that AT trial because I expected justice. I couldn?t care less about what happens to MS. I?m not out the see them get slapped down because of some petty biased ness for Linux or OS X. An OS is a freaking OS people.
But I?d like it if justice for once in this country prevailed. People can keep claiming MS is this innocent company. Yah well you don?t get sued as many times as MS, get dragged into court for AT issues as many times as MS, get dragged through the mud world wide as many times as MS without there being some truth to the matter and that matter is MS is a scum bag of a company who deserves to get squashed into the dirt a bit just enough to give them pause for thought before they try their borderline illegal underhanded craptastic tactics. Right now its full screwage ahead because we got away with it! WOO HOO. Sir Gates must be laughing his head off at the suckers in this country who buy his innocent pretty boy routine. Keep one thing in mind when you defend MS the next time: Nothing is more dangerous to an industry as an arrogant monopoly. And MS has arrogant in spades.

Naturally....

In MS's eyes, 'Freedon to Innovate' is equivalent to 'License to
Steal'. Didn't anyone ever wonder why DOS looked and worked
almost exactly the way CPM did???????
