Re: [newbie] Of M$ attacks
Hey Civileme folks, Civileme, did you mean attic or arctic ?? :-) There is nowhere on earth that is safe. But for what it's worth people, all of this is simple, grade One, everyday business tactics. Despite how you feel about Big Bill, he did one great thing for this planet: He proved that you can get filthy rich - I mean FILTHY rich - without cornering the Wheat Market and starving families to death, or starting a good war to goose up the profits. Whatever is said about him he doesn't force anyone to do anything. Think about Genetically Modified Foods. Think about forced fluoridation of water supplies. Think about forced hah! - immunisation campaigns. No, Big Bill is very annoying for his selling success, but he doesn't kill people without warning, or choice. Remember - we get exactly the government ( Multinational, NWO) we paid for. We buy their products with our cash, inaction and silence.

The mos frightening is their sharred source Initiative. If unwary open source coders sign up for a peek at the microsoft software, thereafter the companies they work for don't dare use them on open-source projects, because they'll be hauled into court for stealing microsoft ideas. It doesn't matter if the claim is utter crap--Microsoft can afford to keep them in court longer than they can affiord to stay. This reminds me of IBM tactics about 1977 or so. They poison the opposition's workers. It doesn't matter that we aren't about competing with them, they see us as a threat to be crushed. I am beginning to believe I should have stayed in the arctic.
