The above is just a tiny sample of Microsoft's criminal behaviour, and
yet the EU Commission is branded as "scum" by the paid Microsoft shills,
for daring to challenge the gangsters at Microsoft.

The only "scum" here is Microsoft and its supporters.

They must be doing a bang up job because Windows has somewhere over 90
percent of the market place.

Isn't Linux free?

I've never used Linux myself, but it must really suck donkey dick if
it's free and still can't seem to encourage users to leave Windows in
favor of Linux. Why would someone pay $200.00 for Windows 7 when Linux
is free?

What do you use at work?

I'll bet it's Windows.

Of course it's Windows.

There was a time, not so very long ago, when every time Big Ben tolled the
hour the British Ensign was being raised at dawn somewhere in the world.
Today, with every tick of the Atomic Clock at the National Bureau of
Standards, thousands of copies of Windows are being booted somewhere in the
world (many for the fourth time that day).

Nevertheless, if that's the worst you can say about Microsoft, then
Microsoft is surely going to heaven.

I'm a Microsoft shareholder, but that in no way influences my opinion.
