Who here believes that Microsoft has their customers best interests at heart ?

Who here believes that Microsoft would never put a secret backdoor in Windows for the purposes of spying on their customers or some other devious purpose we cannot fathom ?

Who here believes that Microsoft would never collect personal information about their customers without their knowledge or consent ?

Who here believes that Microsoft did not purposely design Windows to be grossly insecure so that it and other could exploit people to the max with unwanted advertising, the need for 3rd party tools to keep gremlins out of the computer and the ability to exercise a degree of control over you and your computer ?

Who here believes that Microsoft gives a damn about protecting the freedom of the individual ?

Just wonderin'.

I dont really care about what Microsoft does. I like playing computer games, so Microsoft is my only option. Simple as that. And I like XP.

Be careful what you say and don't question authority. The Evil Empire will crush you like an unnoticed bug under the heel of its hobnailed boot as it strides blithely on its way to world domination.

You sound like my aunt. She thought at one time every new televesion sold had a camera installed in it so the gov'ment could watch what you are doing. Get a grip.

Bill Gates once said that he planned on having windows on every computer out there in the world....

he ALMOST succeeded. Thankfully, shady business practices (etc etc etc) and alternative operating sytems stopped him from completely dominating the world.

And now he's finally starting to lose his grip his monopoly.
