You are a selfish hypcrotic!
As a worker in the high tech industry, I can no more ignore Microsoft than I can ignore gravity.

And as a global company, Microsoft can no more ignore China than they can ignore the EU! If your company forces you to use Microsoft products, quit! Aren't you willing to make that sacrifice to show MS how pissed off you are or is this all just righteous indignation?

That said, if you are suggesting that I can't justly criticize MS for selling their souls to the devil by participating in an obvious instance of censorship, then you need to sit back and reflect on the things in life which are truly important, and not just concentrate on those which will make you money. If you DON'T know what I'm speaking of, then I truly pity you and no number of responses I can write will reach you.

This would mean a lot more if you would answer one simple question that you have conveniently ignored so far: do you now or have you ever bought anything that was Made in China? If yes, your entire post is nothing more than anti-MS zealotry. Do as I say, not as I do ring any bells?
