When the DNC starts endorsing their products like they do Linux and open source, when they start giving their software away to China and other communist governments for free like IBM and Red Hat do....When those things happen, I assure you I will speak out against them at every opportunity.
TOO LATE, they already are. Time for you to speak out!!!
http://www.detnews.com/2005/technology/0506/20/tech-219580.htm Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and Chief Executive Steve Ballmer have made repeated trips to China in recent years, helping to strengthen the company's relationship with top Chinese leaders in a country where connections are often vital in securing deals.
Microsoft's partner in the MSN China venture, Shanghai Alliance, is run by a son of former President Jiang Zemin.
As part of its marketing campaign, Microsoft has donated software to state-run China Telecom and China's State Economic and Trade Commission. It has pledged to invest or donate $10 million to China's primary education. And it has offered to provide free Windows operating systems to government officials in Beijing for three years in return for its becoming an exclusive software provider.
