All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
Massachusetts set to switch off Microsoft

Actually, if you shoot someone, you can hurt them psychologically, if they survive, that is. :)
Kintaro:
I guess you have a point. I think however the threat of Microosft is a little exaggerated, competition is working, slowly, but working.

Too little, too late as far as I'm concerned. Too limited, too. Will the Linux community hold Bill Gates accountable for his shameful exploitation of public education or his real estate crimes? Frankly, the geek community is out to lunch.
Microsoft is about far more than software.
Kintaro:
Well unfortunatly, nothing can really be done other than that, and it isn't too late yet. Microsoft has done some terrible things, however that is in the past and it is the future that needs to be worried about.

Uh, no - Microsoft's crimes are hardly in the past; they're ongoing. And we won'thave much of a future if society doesn't learn the importance of holding people accountable for their actions. Murderers, rapists and burglars go to jail, so why shouldn't Bill Gates be hauled to the carpet, too?
That's why I began speaking out against Microsoft, because the geek community is so out to lunch. They really don't have a clue about anything outside their operating systems.
