After Reading the Article, It Just Sounds Like M$ is just bitchin and whining cause the austrailian government didn'want to give them all the freebies that they get here. The Article points to the fact the M$ probably wanted to relocate the business to another country to seek an asylum of sorts, and was denied so being a big cry baby they are gonna try and make them look bad, for not giving the what they wanted. Well la di da.
Well i think this is a feeble attempt for microsoft to try and muscle somebody down with bad press. Provided that this is actually what is going on, I hope the austrailian doesn't back down.
Most of the things that austrailia has as labeled as having bad IT can be seen in a lot of countries even in the US.
For Instance the
"Inadequate infrastructure and bandwith "
There are places Even In America were people can't even get decent 28.8 ? and DSL and cable are way of thier radars
"Failure to protect against piracy" Piracy is gonna happen regardless of where you are. Can you say gnutella?
Since About the 30's there has been a viscious trend in corprate america, that they want all the rights and privileges americans have but don't want to pay for it. Since the roughly after the great depression corparations in America have slowly been paying less and less taxes, thus making citizens pay more in place of thier greed. You Can Make All The New Tax Laws But all corparations are gonna do is just pass the bill and the buck always stops at consumer. Or if they decide somehow not to pass the buck on they will move to some 3rd world contry and get slave labor to do thier deeds and still keep extremely high prices.
Corpratations are doing nothing really but accelerating thier own end. Eventually the way things are going now, the world is gonna be off balance a few rich business men who control everything and have no accountability for thier actions and the majority just will snap and when someone decides to snap and convinces the majoprity of people that he is right, they are wrong, and that then leads to a revolution is at hand. This should be of no surprise history repeats itself end of story.
With All That Said, Personally i think the American Goverment is pussy whipped by American Corparations, by a combination of greed, ignorance, and fear. because they are doing nothing to protect the civil liberites and privacies that are being threatened now. The End Result is alot of people are going suffer.
