It is called business. I understand that a lot of techies are anti-MS. But they need to stop whining about it to everyone, no one cares except a small group of techies.

MS has done a large amount of good inthis country, created many jobs, and I am sure the list could go on. But I tire of hearing from people that think MS is an evil big company.

It is called business.

So is prostitution, running an abortion clinic or selling crack on the street corner.

Just because it's "business" isn't an excuse for immoral or unethical practices and Microsoft has had more than it's share of those kinds of problems.

MS has done a large amount of good inthis country, created many jobs, and I am sure the list could go on.

And Al Capone opened a lot of soup kitchens and bread lines in Chicago during the Great Depression. Again, it doesn't excuse bad behavior.

But I tire of hearing from people that think MS is an evil big company.

And I tire of people defending Microsoft's unethical business practices by tossing out some notion that they've done some good things too.
