“You’re flat-out wrong. Microsoft, of which you’re so fond of, donates lots of money to Democrat causes,”

I’m sure they do!

At least the CEO of MS isnt making damn speeches bragging about it, and threatening to use the resources of that company to go after people he doesn’t agree with.

“For instance, Microsoft was the No. 2 top contributor to President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign, donating more than $815,000 to the Democratic incumbent. Apple doesn’t.”

Apple doesn’t what? I guess they gave to Romney, right?

Apple’s people are very outspoken about their political activities, and only the Apple fans on FR do a big old sappy dance to try to CYA.

Apple doesn't donate to political causes. Their employees or stockholders may, but not Apple. And of the donations given by stockholders/employees to political causes, their ranking is by amount is several hundred down the list. Microsoft donations given by stockholders/employees is about 37th on the list of donations by total given by any entity. So stop using Microsoft Windows if you're griping about donations to the democrats, because Microsoft is about the worst offender (not Apple by a longshot). Of course hypocrisy is your burden to carry.
