Microsoft snatches defeat out of the jaws of victory

After having successfully bilked hundreds of billions of dollars from the world which they are swinging by the tail, they launch a campaign of hate against their customers with activation in XP and then thumb their nose at their customers with WGA. Not being satisfied with the level of pain they have inflicted, they turn up the volume by incorporating WGA into the core of Vista and accentuate their egotistical arrogance by integrating DRM into the beast they call Vista. Then they tie it all together by ratcheting down their EULA (license) until their users (formerly known as customers) cry Uncle.

Just like the Roman Empire, now they begin their slow decline into oblivion, while their leaders run to and fro wondering what they could further do to prevent their users (former customers) from using the IP which they have paid for.

Looks like wealth and power imparts a mental condition which causes the rich and powerful to forget where and how they got their wealth and power, unless they were born into a family of the buzzards, in which case they would not have known anything to forget to begin with.

And so it goes...........
