What's that got to do with the price of fish? Because we use it we shouldn't expect Microsoft to conform to legal requirements and cough up when they infringe someone's patent? They make enough of a bloody fuss when someone infringes THEIR intellectual property rights - should they somehow be held to a lesser standard of probity than they demand of others?

edit: It's not about whether their software is buggy. It's not about how rich Bill Gates is. It's about a theft of intellectual property, you know, the stuff that they saddled us with product activation over, and didn't we just LOVE that. It's about very questionable business practices. It's about possible breaches of the law undertaken to ensure that their WAS no alternative, and that affects all of us, including those who DO use their products.

That should be more ££ in a day in interest than 5 people earn in a lifetime.

Don't forget about the crew who just think it's cool to bash MS and most don't even know why they are doing it.

the only reason their are so many bugs and security flaws in windows is because its used by so many people, and a lot of them do nothing but look for theses flaws (yes i know they shouldnt exist in the first place, but wrighting a perfect GUI like XP isnt easy)

I don't have anything against MS products, but I don't like the way they do business, or the way bill is so tight
