I don't agree with your appeal to nationalism that Microsoft represents America abroad. That I should favor Microsoft because they represent American capitalist efforts while Linux is Euro-socialist-collectivist crap. That even worse, now there's a ChiCom version of it.

I don't go along with your narrative because:
1) I detest the way M$ has done business through the years. A bad example of capitalism.
2) M$ has hired tons of H1-B workers so is not particularly loyal to American workers nor patriotic. When I think of corporations that are patriotic M$ never comes to mind.
3) Linux is developed by people from all over the world through I'll admit it is a collective/collectivist effort

I take it that means you'd prefer to see this through to the ultimate linux fantasy - the complete destruction of the largest market cap company in America? Sorry, but that's not something I'm interested in, especially if the hole left in our economy isn't filled by another US company, but rather some worldwide "movement" that won't stop until the rest of the US for-profit software industry is destroyed as well.
