All closed source software might not be evil. But this is one company whose demise (which I do not think is imminent) would do a world of good to the IT industry as a whole. Just recall what happened with SCO's lawsuit against Linux companies? How eager the same Microsoft was to fund and encourage that attempt! Without the vigilance and efforts of open source community they would have been happy to stifle Linux and associated open source software. In an eco system, different type of entities should thrive. But some are evil and actively damage everyone else. They should go. It would be a good thing if Microsoft goes out of business taking with them all their business practices. That is my opinion.
