I do believe in capitalism, but MS is offering a product in a somewhat monopolistic mode that I don't feel good about, so I am doing the capitalistic thing by looking for usable alternatives. I'm not above paying for it, either, like I seldom use the free versions of software because I believe the author deserves the pay for the product.
I'm going to vote with my feet and my pocketbook. Not necessarily or particularly to Apple, either.
Wonderful. My problem is that we have this group of "Anything But Microsoft" yo-yos that run around like a bunch of linux moonbats. They irritate me in the same way that the "Anybody But Bush" crowd does. Fine, they can vote with their pocketbooks, but they need to STFU with all the liberalesque whining, snivelling, and haughtiness. Sheesh, they sound like Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi. Heck, where I live, the same crowd that whines about President Bush is the same crowd that whines about Starbucks and Microsoft.
