Story: Microsoft: We took MikeRoweSoft too seriously

You really are kidding right?

Lay off Microsoft - ever considered that maybe they are such control freaks and protective of their stuff BECAUSE people seem to want to rip THEM off? At the end of the day, MS is just another company who got their first with all the good ideas, have the money and power to make things work, and pass on the benefits to everyone else. Boo hoo, go home jealous girls.
---
Microsoft (the software company) has not CREATED anything. They have bought or licensed everything they sell.
The only good idea they have had is to steal what other companys create (check all the lawsuits they have lost for prof of this).
The only other 'good' thing they have done is they are great at marketing and extorting money from companies.
---
Look at the alternatives out there - is it any wonder MS got so far ahead?
---
Yes, considering even 10 year old Amiga OS is far better than today's Windows and far more secure.
---
They're the only ones who innovate and develop half-decent stuff.
---
What an apologist. Read above, MS has never created anything.
---
So don't you dare cry that you can't get your work done just because you are loathe to use MS stuff. Get over it - there are more important things in the world to grump about than petty squabbling.
---
Right, there are more important things than trying to spread lies about MS (meaning you - claiming MS has ever done anything on their own).
---
If Microsoft have a monopoly on anything, it's because they saw that the target market was so flooded with pure crap, they thought they could do better, and have, time and time again, proved that. Big fat hairy deal.
---
Sure, when they steal what other people/companies create.
