Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the anywhere-he-wants-to dept.

Jeff writes "In Citizen Microsoft, I report on Microsoft's use of Nevada corporations to avoid approximately $327 million in Washington state taxes while telling voters they need to pay more to fund education. I also contrast Microsoft's attacks on the open source community with its in-state lobbying efforts and its recent promise to get more involved in local politics.

    To keep Mircosoft happy, you give them a big blue button that says "SCREW SOMEONE OVER" in big bold letters. As long as they can keep pressing it, they'll never lose their errections.
