...Bing gives me money back for opening up their page before I go to eBay and buy stuff. I can't think of anything Google does that is remotely as useful as that.
I've used Bing cashback over 20 times, and comparison shopped on different PCs with different browsers. This is 100% unfounded.
The amount of anti-MSFT vitriol is simply amazing sometimes. How, praytell, does Ebay raise it's price quotes when using Bing cashback? ROFL epic failure
He's probably several orders of magnitutde smarter than that idiot in the Whitehouse. Who gives a rat's @ss what his given slant is? He makes progress. Obama is another shill for banks and unions. Whopee, haven't seen him already.
Rupert Murdoch has proven, yet again, that he is the smartest guy in the room. While everyone else in print media business is losing moeny hand over fist, he just found a way to wring money out of MSFT. Why isn't this guy running the country? He easilly the smartest guy in town.
Neither. Your non sequitor is so primitive, it hurts. MS does force people who buy a PC to also buy windos, through its OEM tie-ins. And it forces people who buy a PC with windos to also have IE delivered with it. The "superiority" strawman is ridiculous and I won't be repeating the argument, you can find a million or so rebukes on/. by using the search function.
Oh, I see. It's not that people choose a PC because they want a machine that has windows on it, it's because Microsoft forces them! Thanks for clearing that up. It's clear from the evidence that 99% of PC users really want a Linux system, and Bill Gates has been keeping them from it. Are you serious?
As long as it suits them, yes. I remember they are strong on copyright as well. Funny how that changed, they used to be the largest piracy nation in the world when it was british books, not american movies, that were the most wanted product on the entertainment market.
The stories of the US forcing US-friendly trade policies on foreign nations are legion, if you just open your eyes. In fact, they're one of the primary reasons half of south america hates you. The other half hates you because you helped overthrow their democratically elected governments and installed a more US-friendly dictatorship that then went on to terrorize its people.
Liberal trade policies, my ass.
Fallacious nonsense. The U.S. has more regional and bi-lateral free trade agreements than any nation on earth. The U.S. has been the world-wide impetus for free trade for over 25 years, while continental Europe has had to be dragged along kicking and screaming.
You shortsighted and hate-filled demagoguery concerning Latin America is telling. The U.S. has been the hegemon of the Western Hemisphere since the Monroe Doctrine, and your comments, frankly, stink of sour grapes and jealousy. I dare say it was European colonialism that ruined South America and continues to ruin Africa today.
Cry me a river. Look, MS started the game, by forcing its users to accept their own browser, regardless of merit or customer desire.
Does Microsoft force people to buy PCs, or it is the fact that they are eminently superior to the "competition?"
And, of course, the EU has no problems with huge Airbus subsidies, now declared illegal by the WTO. I hope that the US Government will find its gonads and slap EADS with huge tariffs and penalties. Then, maybe, the EU will be a little less eager to meddle with US companies.
Yeah, because nothing like that has ever happened the other way around. Please.
Well, nothing like that does happen. The US has, by far, the most liberal trade policies in the world. At least they had until the present "buy American - hate foreigners" regime came into town.
