Even further down:

One of the most striking changes has been among employees. Even in 2000, with a Democratic-led U.S. Department of Justice antitrust case raging, individual Microsoft employees gave more to Democrats (53 percent) than Republicans. In this election cycle[salo note: 2004], employees have ratcheted up their giving to Democrats to 73 percent of a $1.13 million total.

So....typo or lie? You decide.

As I said, Microsoft is middle of the road. They donate to both parties, including more to Republicans in 2006 and to GWB in 2004.

What's in lockstep with the DNC is Open Source software. Which I linked above multiple times, and you continue to completely ignore. They are partners in philosophy and product use. Trying to point fingers at Microsoft is a ridiculous excuse for it, too, as Microsoft is much more typically associated with Republicans.

Knowing Their Politics By The Software They Use

You can keep arguing against the obvious. But it will continue to be a losing cause.
