The Computer Industry Grew Because of it?????
What a bunch of &#%$^@!!!

Actually, the computer company has grown IN SPITE OF MICROSOFT!

When I first started in the computer industry, I admired M$...and then I slowly started learning what they really do and what they really represent...

...M$ has been holding back the computer industry for years, and stifling innovation!

The computer industry should be light-years of where it is now, and few people seem to realize it. M$ started with what one person called a "shockingly inferior" product, and has never progessed beyond it, prefering to stomp out competition instead of improving their own products.

Once M$ loses it current position as a "giant of the industry", we will see the computer field blossom into what it SHOULD be...like when the phone monopoly was broken up and we suddenly saw so many wonderful new phone features!

So please don't be spewing out such crude nonsense!
