@ All advocates of ms and other monopolists:

Do you really think it will be beneficial to innovation, civilisation & democracy, if _one_ player corners the entire world-(IT-) market ?
Resulting in PCs (with build in "Fritz"-chips or whatever the d*mn things are being called) that doesn't even allow to run any other softwares than "approved" by the "great sacred monopolist ms" and, of course, being payed for an unpropotional large sum of _your_ hard cash, over and over and over again due to the "very userfriendly" ms-licences...
Ever heard of: " Ein Land, ein Volk, ein Fuehrer !" - in this context it would be: " Ein PC, ein Welt, ein ms..."
Now don't so screaming: "Godwins Law" because the stranglehold of ms is - unlike the nazis - not limited to just _some_ nations, it is choking to death innovation, freedom of speech and information-exchange as well as honest, open competition worldwide.
Did you know most money is shifted around the world electronically nowadays ? Using... ms-softwares !
Do you really approve ms is in fact effectively controlling pretty much every (large) financial transaction being made anywhere in the world ?
Did you know many people died (e.g. during surgery) in hospitals because the ms-"medical" software failed ? Do you really care one bit ?
As you buch state it, that's all justifiable, respectable and will be a great advantage to us all. _N_O_T_ !!
Anyone advocating _that_ doen't understand a bit of IT - or anything else concerning honest business, or even how to be decent human beings...
The fact ms is the most powerful player in IT is because they (try to) anihilate all other players, especially the Open_Source..
It's like "winning" a football match by shooting down the opposing team - and then claiming you've won because the other team refuses to play...
Duh... _What_ a flock of (ms-controlled) sheeple you really are ! Isn't it time to wake up in the _real_ world, you morons !!
If ms would say it is good for you to be butchered - without one single doubt - you would believe it and go running to the slaughterhouse to get yourself killed "to the greater glory of the divine ms" ! Even (real) sheep are smarter than that, I reckon...
Stop defending the unethical, immoral as wel as extremely harmful behaviour of criminal monopolists like ms...
(Perhaps you ms-advocates are all hired FUDders totally owned & controlled by ms - anybody defending ms simply can't be an intelligent lifeform...)
Maybe "ms" really means "More Sheeple" or "Mainly Spyware" or "Megalomane Sicko's" and "xp" clearly stands for "eXposed Privacy".
