Another counter example for those who still think Microsoft is an innovative company. No innovation, just reaction. Somebody else did it, so they have to do it just so they get to keep part of their lunch. The next step is to spin it so it looks like their idea.
Microsoft has shown themselves to be manipulative and tricky SOBs in the past. There was nothing to be gained by getting involved with them on this issue or any other issue. The "Get the Facts" campaign is a transparent ploy. When MS is ready to really advance the state of computer tech they know how to contribute. In the mean time don't feed the troll.
Somebody explain to me what's the use of this. Any answers to good questions are going to be spin meister excercises and you've given the devil a stump to preach from.

Sometimes I wonder if Mr. Schwartz is related to our friend Daryl. He seems to have the same foot-in-mouth gene.
If they give it to you is it really theft?
