You must have missed the video. Whether it
reflects that MS is or is not a "nice company"
is a matter of personal taste, not your judgment
and not mine. I rather liked it. Those who found
it distasteful seem to be humor-challenged.
Do you watch American movies made in Hollywood?
Do you think that they're nice? How about
American TV shows? Think they're nice? How about
Japanese anim?? Think they're nice? Maybe you
prefer American politicians, especially all
those recently racist displays by both Democrats
and Republicans alike? Think they're nice? How
about Apple, the company that won't allow its
users to legally run the Mac OS on anything
other than a Mac? Think they're nice?
Companies are never nice or not nice, only
people and dogs are. Capitalists are known for
being not nice -- only rationally self-
interested (since when is narcissism rational?).
Only dogs are really nice, except for pit bulls,
of course.
Besides, what has this remark got to do with
Mary Jo's article? Nothing. You just HAD to
express your insignificant and self-righteous
disdain for Microsoft. That's what the holier-
than-thou IT crowd can't keep itself from doing.
If you don't like freedom of expression, be like
Oedipus: poke out your eyes (and burst your
eardrums). Then the world will be a nicer place
-- for you, at least. Instantly and eternally. - Posted by: billfranke@... Posted on: 07/06/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
