New Microsoft Dirty Tricks Revealed
Conrad Mazian writes "Robert X. Cringely has an article on the Technology Evangelist web site where he claims that Microsoft destroyed evidence in the Burst vs Microsoft case. Specifically Burst's lawyers had asked for certain emails, Microsoft claimed that they couldn't find the backup tapes the emails would be on, and while this was happening the tapes were in a vault at Microsoft — until they mysteriously disappeared. It's a fascinating story, and even names one person at Microsoft."
MS should be the good guys here. Burst were suing them for patent infringement which we all know is an evil practice and should be resisted by all possible means.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
What you ppl don't want other ppl to realize is the bottom line here...Microsoft didn't loose the case...They were not guilty...in fact what's the fuss about...They rarely loose any cases....That proves that they are much much more innocent than you ppl blabber on about...
An even bigger issue is how Microsoft has lifted man kind...The PC would not exist without them...
Even if they did anything wrong the Bill & Milenda Gates Foundation makes up for it by an infenite amount.
This so called journalist just has a grudge against Bill Gates because he's so rich...just like you ppl...your just jealous about his money...grow up and get a life!!!
You forgot to add: They generate a large fraction of the US GNP, they make the software that has made computers cheap and ubiquitous for everybody on the planet, and Bill Gates personally funds one of the largest charities in the world. Now, if I can only get one of their salespeople to call me back about a large new installation I'm getting ready to do...
I don't respond to AC's.
If they were using MS software it's entirely believable.

Let's say a guy admits that he has planted an A-bomb in an american city and it's going to go off soon and he doesn't care that this will cause massive death and untold agonies for those left alive, in fact he wants that. Now tell me why he shouldn't be tortured?
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with torture, just as with capital punishment. The problem is mistakenly applying it to the innocent. But to just say that torture is bad always is childish simplisticness.
