What exactly is your argument that Bush was never elected by the people? If you're argument is that he was elected by the electoral college, then no president in the last 200 years has been elected "by the people".
If you have enough sense to move on from that, and look at the popular vote, in both elections that Bush won he did in fact win the popular vote. Granted it was by a very small margin, he still won with the majority (not plurality) of required votes.
Now the real question. Did you vote in the last two elections. If you did, good for you. you can disagree with Bush but get over the fact that your single vote didn't sway the election. If you didn't, then shut up, you gave up your right to complain when you didn't vote.
Ummm...actually...they did give a rat's arse. Not only did they give the rats arse, but they machined a ring with said arse out of aluminum, plated it in gold, drove 3000 miles, stole the cannon, put the rat's arse on the cannon and dragged the thing 3000 miles back with said arse firmly attached. Okay, so maybe they didn't actually give anyone just the rat's arse...but there definitely was some rat arse involved.

So it looks to me like Microsoft is actually trying to do something useful. I for one welcome any attempt at making technology available to a wider audience. But of course, this is slashdot talking about microsoft, of course no one will say anything nice.
