Story: Crime, but no punishment for Microsoft

Wow!. Leader must be hitting the right nerve because I've never seen so many payed for Microsoft shrills go into beserk mode and actually put some effort in the amount of FUD they spread.

Gotta love their reasoning that if you make a habit out of smashing heads everywhere for nothing but your own profit you can simply pay off some of your victims with a small amount (or else you'll smash their head in again) and the judge will say something about it but you can totally ignore that anyway because half the world is in your pocket anyway. And if that doesn't help then simply help the judge's children understand that their daddy better back down for their own well being or else. Rules and laws are for the weak and poor I guess.

In short: violate rule after rule and lock-in markets. Give back 1% of what you've gained that way for PR reasons. Cry faul if others don't fully comply to your own selfmade rules and demand that justice gets done. Cry faul and yell hype terms like "cripled innovation" and "hidden cost" whenever someone else points out and proofs that you only follow rules as long as they suit you time and time again.

Perhaps we should raise all our children that way because how else could we hope to achieve the glorious future and sociaty of tomorrow?

And perhaps we shouldn't be so though on those re-offending inmates currently still inprisoned. Release them all because plenty of them will have a very succesfull business plan in mind that will be highly succesfull for them if we just keep off their backs and let them go their way. And who knows who of us will one day have a nice paying job by working for such a chap?
