Edison would never understand Microsoft as anything but a lazy
and money hungry company.

This is truly a matter of consumer misconduct. If any other product was to have the record that Microsoft (or even the Windows based PC Software industry in general) we would all be go other systems.

Yet when anyone says why are you all still using the bad product, they get treated like they are just trying to get a response.

Truth is that it is a matter of consumer advocancy. Bad products should be avoided and if the the maker of the product refuses over and over again to change, they should be put out of business.

Microsoft's new security tools are a band aid. Other OS's don't need any security tools.

Tell me again how Vista should be tried before we comment on it. Only a moron would try a bad product just to see how bad it is when they have 25yrs of making inferior products.

A better solution is to send Microsoft a message. Fix your product and we might consider letting you sell it to the alt OS communitees. Right now we don't want or need your products.
