Youre right MS sold code to Chinese communist, and IBM gave it... I guess it must be because IBM hates American and bill gates gets puppy dog eyes every time he sees an American flag. I mean its not like it could have anything to do with the fact the companies have two different business models right?

All I know is Ill sleep better tonight knowing bill gates pocket is that much fatter after having sold away the secrecy of 97% of his source code..

We've been over this many times, it's an inaccurate statement, but if it helps you sleep at night feel free to use it.

If you cannot see the difference between selling your product in an open global market and giving away freebies to a foreign company, that you won't for Americans, then I guess the argument is moot.

Well you finally capitalized it, but still managed to mispell it. Maybe one of these days you'll get it right. Then again, maybe not.

Obvious sarcasm, since you'd prefer he just gave it all away for free.
