[HAL9000]

Every US corp is trying to do business in China, including Apple.

But Microsoft goes far beyond doing business with them. Bill Gates gives lavish praise and active support to the ChiCom dictatorship - and you give nothing but lip service about it.

I already told you, if he starts giving the Chicoms software literally for free and selling them major parts of his hardware business for pennies on the dollar, like IBM has done and continues to do, I'll treat them with equal disdain. And I do find his latest comments disgusting, but he has been on record criticising communism before, and president Steve Ballmer has been extremely outspoken against communism. Apple hired Al Gore to be on their BOD after he lost the election, so it's not like they're a bastion of concervatism themselves. I see both Apple and Microsoft as fairly middle of the road, while IBM and open source is 90% leftist/communist.

Can you name me ONE major American company that refuses to trade with China and insults them?

Trading with China is worth BILLIONS to Microsoft.  Wouldn't you do the same?
