Microsoft should be punished for past behavior
I don't know how many of you have actually taken the time to read the transcripts
from the Microsoft anti trust trial, but judging from the past comments from some
of you sticking up for Microsoft, I'm sure a lot of you haven't.

Let me say this. Microsoft is one of the most corrupt, unethical companies this
country has ever seen. Sabotaging competitors software, strong arming and
extorting competitors and OEM's alike, no wonder the judge compared Gates and
Co. to Columbian drug lords or Mafia Kingpins.

MS was supposed to be broken up for its crimes; but they pulled every delay tactic
in the book, gave Bush and Ashcroft a ton of campaign contributions, and when
Bush was elected MS was allowed to be the first company in history, that had been
convicted of being a predatory monopolist, to write their own punishment! Talk
about a corrupted government.

And wasn't there talk about MS allowing the NSA to put code in windows that
would allow them to spy on computer users through a backdoor, and that's one of
the reasons MS got off the hook? And isn't the judge that okayed the 'sweetheart
deal' the same one that okayed Bush's spying on Americans....mmmm....makes
you think.

The sooner MS is beaten back to what they are, a third rate software company with
a big advertising budge, the better off all of us will be.

Okay, MS, have your paid microsoft apologists now start ranting and raving back
at this post.
