you may want to visit the above link while compiling the list of stores you plan to visit.

Except that, how do you go about boycotting Microsoft and their products? Don't purchase from the stores that offer their products? Or, don't purchase from the stores that use their products? Or, perhaps, switch to other OSes, and software not related to Microsoft? Perhaps, even Linux? Hmmm... perhaps it's time to organize behind Linux and "free" and open source, and hit Microsoft where it hurts?

I’m a fan of MS and I will be using alternatives, like Open office.

However, when the browser options are even worse (google, just as much in the tank. FF, big and bloated), I’m not really sure there’s a good alternative to IE that isn’t even more in gay agenda tank than Microsoft.

The programmers in the middle of Linux/FOSS are probably as gay happy as anybody, but they don’t have some huge high profile company to push the agenda with. (Just curious how Ubuntu, Inc. aka Canonical addresses the matter. Being South African they may be able to skirt the issue.)

It’s sickening that the sads have thoroughly hijacked Microsoft. Microsoft was supposedly the epitome of US high (okay, medium) tech success, with the vast majority of US businesses being their customer in some manner.
