Microsoft's Long-Playing Business Record

khendron writes "The Globe and Mail has an article which tells it like it is. Microsoft is looking at it constant court costs and anti-trust fines as simply 'the cost of doing business,' and has no intention of changing. A telling quote 'Losing or settling case after case, Microsoft has tested the bounds of antitrust and patent infringement law, with little evidence that its power has waned or that its behaviour has been substantially changed. Rivals and many legal experts say antitrust law itself has come out the worse for the skirmishes, while Microsoft appears to have built the ongoing scrutiny, fines and remedies into a strategy showing scant sign of reform.'"

Oooh that lying, dirty micro$oft! They totally lied about integrating IE as part of the operating system just to kill Netscape! Look at it now, I have Windows XP, and don't see IE as part of the OS at all!!!

Don't buy MS products.

If it bothers you that much, don't buy MS products. Download them instead from warez newsgroups. It's fun sailing the seven seas as a pirate.

This isn't a troll or flamebait, either. The Govt does nothing about MS and how it continuously breaks the law. Why can MS get away with it and we can't? Because they're rich, that's why. Psssh... please. If our own Govt can't respect its own laws and is easily swayed by the green, then there's no reason why I should be expected to respect and obey laws.
