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.

I guess you love BillG and his many donations to leftist causes like gun control and "overpopulation"

Just like he gives campaign contribs to dems... When you support Microsoft, you support communism.... I mean the chicoms... I mean the gun grabbers... I mean the DNC... same thing.
