There's no reason to believe any software proprietor that they're looking
out for user's interests. Nor is there any reason to single out Microsoft
as being anything but an exam
But.. They are still un the top of contributions on github.
And.. Is not that I am saying they are the good guys..
But if I remember correctly Snowdon also said PRISM was using law and a
secret court to force companies to gave the data. Even if this was against
their will.

We should indeed not trust Microsoft to have the user's best interests in
mind, but the message they've given is a good and valid one. The key here is
to make sure we don't settle for anything less than we expect, and certainly
no less than the now (weakly) reformed company has suggested we d

Well, I believe climate change is real and caused by mankind.
But Unicorns in multi-colors or pink are from Gaylandia Universe.
Leprechauns are from Scotland?,
why Scotland and not Ireland?..
Um, let me think on this one, Scottish people want independence from England
right? and from
I consider what microsoft is saying a mockery.
I do want to know the result of a poll asking people if they believe them.
Fair point, I said the wrong country, I meant ireland, I just got confused.
;P
Although, this I am sure you could tell was pure mockery of malwaresoft.
I called it microshifty, also because they are always hiding something within
their software. ;/
oh well. Good thing Richard Stallman made
The funny thing is, I think the poll would show 50% believe it, and the sad
thing being most don't care.
>How many believes microsoft?
It's not much a question of 'believing' or trusting. The game is lost merely
because of indifference. Unfortunately it takes an apparently rare
combination of "caring enough to read and understanding what you read".
Anyone, I am convinced, who cares even remote

Same, I still have to use things like Google Docs for school. And my laptop
runs a non-free BIOS that I can't get rid of without buying a new computer.
Personally I gave up playing games after making the switch
This is indeed the problem- there's a steep uphill involved in even partly
liberating oneself, especially if there's no tangible motivation to do so
and/or if computing is not a skill one has.
As for the capitalist-controlled government, I think we *do* need that. It'd
be a pity for the hun
Same here. I've been lucky in never having been much of a gamer in the first
place (so I didn't have to worry about that), but the non-free BIOS and
proprietary JS needed for school are still problematic.
The worst part is that the anti-virus programs in circulation now probably
aren't even necessary- MS Windows has one built in, which is just as
competent as any mainstream one (but for free with your spyware...), so the
entire market is effectively an oligopoly feeding on unfounded fears. The
