I know I sure as hell will be sticking to batteries. Why on earth would you want to carry such a weight on your back when you could just as easily power all that gear with lithium ion batteries?
Your comment reads like one that was written by someone that had predetermined ideals in mind as to how society and possibly capitalism "should be". Did you even sit back and think for a second that "cutting supply lines" and "choking off their air" is simply a mechanism of capitalism that is a means to an end of making a profit?
There are no rules to capitalism other than, those who find the best method of "selling" win (irregardless of what society deems is moraly or ethicaly "correct".) Just because you don't agree with their methodology of business doesn't make it "wrong".
If part of their business strategy - which generally in most capitalistic entities disregards "societal ethics", (whether that agrees with you or not) - is to demolish or eraddicate competition simply because it increases their profits, so be it.
Who is anyone to determing what is right or wrong, or how Gates is "evil" for doing what he is doing? He is simply doing what he deems is profitable for his business, and guess what, thus far he has been "correct". Microsoft is one of the most profitable and heralded companies of this century and they should be acknoledged for that.
There is no right and wrong in terms of anything, it's simply a matter of perspective.
