And then there was the light... the EN-light-enment that filled our lives in the collective Hallejuah of realizing that Big Business had coerced another way of screwing the Little Guy. We rejoiced a thousand-fold when we recognized that the Little Guy really was the Patsy, and di we ask our governments to relent? No friggin' way! This, after all, is the corporate prerogative: to annihilate under the blitz of false advertizing, false science, false authority anything that might threaten the status quo of Corporate Amerika! (or Japan, or Germany, or Taiwan).
Lies, crooked science, and ballderdash. Crappolla. The brown blot in the 'kerchief was M$ crapping itself from fright at being taken apart and shown to be the pirateer of the collective human enterprie of knowledge... just like our genes, there are no rights of ownership to such things. To claim that there is, and then to charge for it is an aberration, and should be stopped. In the name of humanity - sue Microsoft!!!
Man that MS just pisses me off!! It provides crap software, a buggy and hole-ridden set of routines for its OS, and then has the timerity to come accusing FOSS of stealing from it's crappy code-base?!? Get a friggin' life M$ - you should be so lucky that OSS coders even would read that woe-beggone buggy code that you call an OS, far less want to copy the damn stuff!!
I can maybe give you reverse engineering in some more covert cells of engineering operation, and I'd also give you that we could improve your code 10 fold if you quit this st00pid proprietory stuff, and released your APIs and run-time calls for public purview. But to claim that we stole your codebase, violating your patents... man, what did you have for breakfast????
And, BTW, did you ever wonder what would happen to you if the companies and ideas you absorbed through your aggressive marketing campaigns made you accountable to them? You'd fold under the sheer weight of the realisation that you do so precious little that wasn't already done before MS got the market share!

Perhaps ... but you provide no evidence to support this particualr view. So why should we merely make the assumptive jump?
