    The problem with Microsoft is that the Federal Justice Department says their evil. The innovations that Microsoft has brought to the market place have come at the price of being convicted a thief, and a cheat; These are not trivial accusations. I guess maybe that's why I'll never be a Billionaire; For me, good products, and good customer service without compromising ethics is still important.

    Have you ever noticed that the crappiest place of all--Africa--is surprisingly short on sweatshops and surprisingly long on ex-vassal states of failed Industrial Age European Empires? What's up with that?
