Oh, puhlease.... Your tin-foil hat is showing. Pay no attention to those black helicopters hovering over your house. And I do wish you'd make up your mind about Microsft: for years you've essentially called them too stupid to do anything right, and now, all of a sudden, their criminal masterminds capable of conceiving and implementing a years-long conspiracy without anyone but you noticing?

Gates has hated hobbyists since the late 70s and accused them of being thieves way back then. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what they've done or for them to do it.


Serious, can you provide a single, verifable shred of evidense to support such an absurd assumption? (I won't hold my breath.)



In other words, you cannot answer the question and are ineptly trying to change the subject.

Irrelevancy snipped....





False. It's not my fault you can't do logic.


I can do logic; you're the one raising irrelevancies and trying too change the subject.


Fact: MS knew their software could be easily copied as far back as 1976.


So? The same is true of every other software company, every music recording studio, every movie studio, and every television network. Have not all of these industries continually been trying to improve their methods of protecting their intellectual property?


Fact: The fact that their software could easily be copied allowed them to corner the OS and Office market and become one of the richest corporations in the world.


Not a fact! Simply an unsubstantiated assertion from one rabidly anti-Microsoft troll. Correlation is not causation.


Fact: once they cornered the market, greed set in and up popped the ineffective anti piracy crap and now the DRM.


Again, not a fact! Simply an unsubstantiated assertion from one rabidly anti-Microft troll. (And please name one single gbusiness that isn't motivated by greed, anyway. that is, after all, why businesses exist: to make money.)


You need to take your blinders off, ...


Pot, Kettle, Kettle, pot.


.... try to respond to content


If your so-called "content" were ever on point, I would.


and stop using ad hominems


An observation of behavior is not an "ad hominem." It is a simple statement of fact, which, in your case, goes to credibility.
