To the EU I say, "Hey, I'm ready. Bring it on!"

You say "Microsoft is basically a monopoly." No, not really. Everyone likes to say that, but this is not what I'd call a monopoly. Are all you Linux dingbats going to take this sitting down? Will you admit you have nothing, and that Microsoft has everything. Or that NO UNIX can compete with Microsofts various OS's?

I can't help but notice that some of my Linux pals only give MS any credit when this subject comes up. If you can call this reverse worship a form of credit!

Oracle runs fine on MS, as do many other packages. Maybe MS is not the real problem. Maybe the problem is that so many narcissistic Walter Mitty pretend software tycoon wanna-be's can't take on legitimate large suppliers like Oracle even when Microsoft gives tem so much help -- more than any other major software supplier.

This reminds me of that guy who sued MS because they would not release certain internals or make other concessions he demanded so he could sell his FILE SYSTEM as a add-on component to Windows OS's. Something he invented -- he thought it was better than MS's file system. So he asked Mommy to let him make MS use HIS file system. This is what narcissism is all about.

The degree of narcissism in EU's actions against MS is amazing! No wonder this is where Hitler and Mussolini grew naturally from the soil!

To the EU I say, "Hey, I'm ready. I'm ready for the trade war. Bring it on. Only in this war, not only will we not bail you out, but we will watch with delight as the Chinese and Indians eat you alive for breakfast."
