No Corporate Body Does Anything

The problem is just that Microsoft employees don't do anything. They're lazy, and get by on the concept of "quantity has a quality all of its own." "Just try, come and get us, there are 70,000 of us, and we have lots of US Dollars at our disposal, and so we own the US Court system more than any of you." Microsoft is a predatory monopoly, not a software development firm. Most software innovation in America has been squelched by the evil US Government. Bush's dumbass reason to promote outsourcing was something like "we need to look at the big picture," a red-herring fallacy of deductive logic, and a typical way a politican doesn't actually answer the question asked of him, but instead answers whatever question he wants. So, the best software developers are usually 50 or 60 years old, and the ones fresh out of school never get a chance to lay bricks and build up their skillsets. As a result, very few software companies are coming up, because Americans are largely and increasingly uncompetive in the tech market.

Plus, software is now most lucratively sold as a service over the web, not in boxes, so Microsoft has much less of an opportunity to steal a smaller company's work out of the box, await a lawsuit from them, and offer a take-it-or-leave-it buyout. And of course their crap Office software never worked in the first place, and now it's up to them to write fixes for bugs that damage the consumer. [Ommm, question, who's gonna fix it? Your do-nothing-right employees? The brick layers you pay $10 an our flat in India and China who are purported to have very little innovation?] It's not very easy for them to translate stealing small companies' intellectual property into fixing their own software piles of crap, so now, more than ever, with the entire economy held hostage to Big Business Bush's illegitimate terrorist tactics, consumer beware. When those idiots in the Department of Commerce approve a merger of AT&T and Bell South, you know you're worse than on your own. You're living under the rule of the United States Federal Government.
