Guys guys guys. I have seen very little positive things mentioned about M$. Now let me ask you something. How much money was donated to charity from Linux revenues? Mac revenues? Compare that with the single largest donation to charity in history. Now sure M$ tries to destroy the competition; and Mac doesn't right? But when 2.5 billion has been donated to charity by M$ is it really right to question the company when the other companies aren't contributing even a small fraction of that? That's not to mention that Bill Gates and his wife donated 5 billion on their own. You guys probably remember that this was the largest known donation to ever occur. But this brilliantly bright light was quickly dimmed by many peoples' past positions on M$.
Simply put, M$ will do nearly anything to make more money as many companies do in a capitalistic economy. And many employees get extremely wealthy as a result. But the big picture here is, because of M$ (and its donations) the world is a better place.
