Every time you buy a Microsoft product American rights slowly get reduced. We fight terrorism and say we try to protect our way of life when no one is doing so on the home front. Microsoft is just as much as a threat as the Taliban are. Microsoft is slowly taking away our right to choose. If Microsoft had its way it would make coffee. Think about it lets say 30 years in the future. Microsoft will make everything from blankets to x-rays. There won't be one thing that isn't Microsoft owned even wal-mart will be bought out and its now called MSN-Mart. The price of coffee is 50 dollars and gas(which is now made by Microsoft) will be $30.00 a gallon. While prices go up pay goes down. You might think this is all bullshit it isn't far from the truth. Microsoft is ting to get in to every type of product there is and try to be the #1 spot. While the government isn't trying to stop any of this. So much for anti trust laws. Buying anything Microsoft is saying that you arn't proud to be an American and you like to support a company that one day be worse then terrorism can ever be on America. Worse then terrorism? Yes when all your rights are taken away and you are told what you can and can't buy. Just think about it when Microsoft makes coffee and coffee pots? So now cals come in, so you pay for the coffee and you buy the filters. wait you can't do that. You have to pay extra so you can legally use that filter and coffee in that coffee maker. Also don't forget you have to pay extra so that the filter works with the coffee. It will be stuff like this that will ruin our life. When is too much? Well the way the American government is going I say that Microsoft will buy them out in 20 years. All America cares about is business but that one day will bite them on the ass and will ruin America as see it. The only way to stop them is to stop buying from them. Pirate if you have to. Don't buy a zune or a xbox360. Take a stand don't be a bitch and say yes to Microsoft because you if you say you are pro American and buy Microsoft you are a fucking liar. Comments (5)

Subscribe to this comment's feed| Microsoft's days are numbered in many ways. In the computer industry Microsoft is losing it's way due to the fact that they don't innovate. What product can you point to that shows Microsoft's innovation. Zune, Xbox, Windows, Office, none of these are really a Microsoft products. In my opinion Microsoft expends most of their resources copying products and then it deals with the litigation. This is no way to do business long term. This is also a big reason why people who aren't even that technically inclined love to hate Microsoft. Most people understand that Microsoft owns their computer or devices to some degree and resent having to buy what they have already paid for. An Example: Vista will be on most peoples computer whether they want it or not. Whether they upgrade to Vista or buy a new machine from whoever, vista will be there. It doesn't matter whether windows 2000 did the job for them just fine. You get Vista or things stop working, updates won't be there and eventually you are forced into the involuntary upgrade. The cost of a new operating system from Microsoft is quite expensive. When you consider that few applications come with that operating system this is a major expense. I'm not saying that Microsoft's products are junk, in fact in some cases they are pretty good. What I am saying is in the area of software you more than likely have paid for your software several times over and this just sort of sucks. I also believe that this may be the end of the road for "Microsoft only" developed operating system. Microsoft has always bought what it doesn't want to design (or can't). Microsoft's recent deal with Novell may be the beginning of a Microsoft GUI on a Linux kernel. I believe that Windows is fatally flawed in many ways. What better way to fix many security problems than by purchasing a better product and stamping Microsoft on it. Anyone who has ever set up a Microsoft server product and has used *nix knows that the server is much better served by a *nix product. Microsoft is a business and it's a rather large one. Unfortunately it has been shown that it will do whatever it takes to remain profitable. Whether this is squelch innovation by purchasing rivals or litigating them into fiscal oblivion, Microsoft intends to survive. I do not believe that Microsoft wants to sell coffee. However, I will agree that corporations hold all power in USA. I have a hard time believing that my vote does anything but put a new face in front of a huge number of lobbyists and corporate entities. Corporations should not have the same rights as an individual. Even John Adams talked fervently about how this must not happen and what might happen if this were to come to pass. Well, it has come to pass and we all see the results. In this country money is the power! There is little meaningful discussion of right or wrong anymore. However, if the money exists to do something and profits are a likely result then that something will be done. Corporations rule our world and use the laws that were created to protect individuals against us. The legal system has been twisted and altered in such a way as to deny individual rights in many ways. The above post is correct in my view about one general theme. Money seems to be the only way path to change. In this, if you don't like Microsoft quite buying their products and don't use products from companies that take Microsoft monies.  |

| This might sound like a surprise to you, but despite what you believe if Microsoft were to cease to exsist Americas economy would be fucked see as how microsofts operating system brings America about 10 billion a decade. If Microsoft ceased to exsist the markey would crash. |
