"There is no employer in America that is worst (at least no major employer)."

Nonsense. And your call for a minimum wage of $9.00/hour and more government interference in the market by punishing Microsoft for its success is more socialist than Republican.

Socialist? Hardly.

I simply want to keep America great. Wal Mart can afford $9.00 per hour. Proof Rush claims they already pay an average of $10.00 per hour. I suggest Wal-Mart be forced to pay what other similar sized employers are paying in wages and Health Care. They can and morally should do this on their own. But if not they should be forced to before they force all the good companies to sink to their level.

I am a programmer so I know a thing or two about computers. I know for example that the processors of today and 100 times faster than 20 years ago yet the OS has changed very little. In fact the Mac circa 1980 did some things better than Windows XP.

The reason for this is there is no incentive to do better for Microsoft as long as they continue to crush all competition they will make plenty of money and need worry little about improving their terrible product. They pay more programmers to destroy competitors that make new software by a factor of three or four.

Windows XP is still a Disk Operating System. IBM computers had real Operating Systems in the 1970's. Those computers were less than .01% as powerful as a PC today. There is no reason we shouldn't be able to talk to our computers and have them interface with everything. That is no reason other than Gates. Gates wants to own it all. The only way for him to do that is to keep software slow with his Windoze. God forbid that any competition exist.

Gates is simply a Railroad Tycoon. He needs to be taken down like they were than IBM then AT&T.
