1. Comment - Microsoft, Autodesk Fined $133 Million

   (Apr 20, 2006 - 4:48 PM)

   Do you work for MS?
   
   I'm overstating the matter! Do you realize how big the ActiveX thing is? Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Windows MediaPlayer, Flash, Adobe PDF Reader, Apple QuickTime... have you ever heard of these things? They broke the whole web!
   
   How many people use XP or Office? How many should? How many are forced to by their narrow-minded, need-to-make-sure-their-certifications-are-relavant IT people?
   
   "Common business practice" is to steal other companies products and hope you don't get caught. How many times have they been busted for this stuff? How many times do they appeal and appeal until the matter is irrelevant? How many of their "perhaps thousand products" did they actually make? How many did they steal? How many did they acquire another company because they couldn't compete with them?
   
   Also, please describe how I'm a derelict? DONKEY!
   
   One person might work... but if everyone simply stopped supporting this company and it's tactics, they'd just go away...

   Last week it was ActiveX... This week it's Office and XP...
   
   Do they have a product that they actually developed on their own?
   
   When is the computing world going to wake up a see Microsoft for what it really is? The only way they can get any product to market is by stealing it...
   
   Jail for a few week is not nearly enough... $133M is not nearly enough... stop using their crap products and put them out of business.
