Now you know why Jim Allchin took the stand during the anti-trust trial and swore under oath that Windows code is so shitty that allowing anyone to actually see it would be a threat to Nat'l security.   ;)

Yah they keep finding unpublished M$ API's all the time, and by "they" I mean M$. LOL. Windoze Media Player comes to mind.

Education, education, education. That's the only way M$ will ever be beat, well unless they go tits up because we actually find that their accountants were just as "innovative" as their so called engineers.

No, we / you  need to educate people as to why a world without M$ would be better, educate people that yes, there is a wrong and a right way of doing things. Then perhaps people will decide for themselves, make the right choice when presented with the facts.
