Ian, M$ is already aware that you are not an evil civilization destroyer. The full depth of their wrongdoing is not yet apparent to you. They are already aware that *they* are the ones transgressing ethical barriers and destroying capitalism; they are aware of this totally, and they utterly DON'T CARE. Not only are they knowingly breaking the law, but also they have no compunction for blaming you instead of them. What they are after is total control at any price, and they are almost there. They just have to sidestep a fullblown revolt for a short time. They have adoped some simple methods in order to accomplish this. What they are doing to you and everybody else is a time tested tactic; it's called projection psychology. It works like this; if you happen to know that you are guilty of a transgression, in order to protect yourself (knowingly, and sometimes unknowingly), you project those misdeeds on someone else (by accusing and blaming them of your violations) and thereby fool bystanders and even perhaps yourself into believing that your target is the guilty one instead of yourself. Since THEY are the evil civilization destroyers, and also have been so accused (and proven in court and elsewhere) they then project that attribute on the Linux world in order to turn the tables. If you're not watching your back, then you yourself can easily fall into that psycho trap. Don't let it happen. Expose what they are doing to everyone you know. > Their software is so bad that I would not even waste my hard disk space with > it - even if I can save $500 by installing it - M$ make the mistake of > thinking that all people want M$.
