I certainly do believe in boycotting companies to get something done, but if you just go use the product of another company who is doing just as bad things (and in this case much worse) then you are basically doing nothing by boycotting unless you boycott them all...which perhaps by your sensibilities you should... turn off your computer, throw it is the trash and walk away. Those of us with brains would find that refreshing.

I see you are still resorting to name calling because you can’t make a valid point. And your point is actually the point I made to you several posts ago.

1) Individuals are free to do with their own money what they wish.

2) If a company is doing something publicly that you agree with I suggest you frequent that company or the specific product they are doing what you like in it. In this case Bing acknowleding Christian holidays.

3) If a company is doing something you disagree with then I suggest you stop frequenting that company or at least the specific product that is offending you.

It’s not too hard to understand for most in this thread.

By your logic since I’m sure every company in some way indirectly supports abortion you really can’t boycott anything since I’m sure some of their employees have actually had an abortion or donated to fund abortions. Or someone has bought stock in that company which in turn supported abortion with the profits it made them.

So which company do you agree in boycotting? I’m sure I can find something reprehsible to you by their competitor. But you won’t fill in the blank of which OS you prefer, so you’re hiding from something—I think it’s hypocrisy.
