"China has an active electronic warfare program against us, and many Windows exploits have been traced back to China since Microsoft gave them the source code. Microsoft has compromised the national security of the United States and made the world more unsafe for everyone. It is the height of irresponsibility. "
You keep getting more hysterical by the minute don't you?
You gotta quit foaming at the mouth and start talking some sense for a change.
# 1, more Windows exploits have been carried out in the United States bt far more than any exploits from China.
Its not even close.
# 2, Windows source code was given to a very very select, very high level' very responsible members of the Chinese government.
Its not been handed over to Chinese hackers.
Please show me some Windows exploits carried out by the members of the Chinese government with access to Microsoft source code will you?
# 3, Microsoft source code has very little to do with American national security.
Knowing the sot=rce code of Microsoft Office or Windows is not the way for the Chinese or anyone else to win a war against the United States..
Meanwhile anyone (including malicious hackers and outlaw countries like Iran) have free access to the open source code like Linux .
I think you should be more worried about open source ceode than Microsoft source code shown to foreign governments under the tightest security and conditions.
# 4, Microsoft is far more responsible than most firms on the planet.
Even the anti-Amerivcan Financial Times has Microsoft ranked as either the most or the next most admired company on the planet.
"Microsoft also registered and activated server software for the Taliban regime, in direct violation of U.S. law. "
LMAO!
Excuse me while I laugh, will you?
The Taliban also used Toyota pickups to mount their machine guns on (so go sue Toyota), Mercedes cars for their top officials (sue Mrcedes too ), PC's with Intel and AMD processors in them, lots of Macs (sure CRAPPLE LOL) etc etc.
Anyone can buy a PC with Windows installed anywhere they want.
Heck I sent lots of Windows PC's to Africa in the past 10 years alone that I bought in Europe.
The American government was the biggest donor of aid to the Taliban> Windows PC's were probably included in some of the aid to hospitals and schools.
You gotta do better than that.
"If Hitler was around today, Microsoft would be selling their wares to him too"
Oh boy.
Now you have completely flipped.
How do I put it delicately? You are not normal.
Your statements keep getting more bizarre by the minute.
Are you sure you are not on something?
You sure sounding more insane with every statement you make.

Windows source code was given to a very very select, very high level' very responsible members of the Chinese government. And if you can't trust mass-murdering tyrants, who can you trust?
