whining about the past

Why are you so scared of the free market? Microsoft cannot compel people to use its products. There was a sense, not so long ago, that people preferred Microsoft, for Truetype, for support and a wide range of drivers, etc. If there's a problem, now, and a 'new' Microsoft, then the same market is still operating. Don't be afraid. Or be afraid, I suppose. It's your choice.

If Microsoft, and I say if, if Microsoft is saying it is not concerned with the problems faced by its customers, then their customers will look elsewhere. How many times must something so obvious be said? Why would anyone disagree with that?

??? I just told you if you don't like MS then go change to something else, so I have no idea what you're talking about. What I am definitely opposed to, if this is what you're getting at, is foreign socialists if not communists making clones of our products then flooding the market with them at the expense of US businesses.

I never did, I said quit your whining already and go ahead, if you think you'll actually be better off.
