This stab in the back from MS to one of its friends is a small sample of what MS really is all about. This is the real face of the culture of that company; rotten treacherous. But as its software code this is hiden and secret, most people never know that what is behind is so bad.

Yet the user experience with that software is allways full of clues about it : Expensive software, incompatible with industry standards, unreliable, usntrustable, real lower performance when compared to what all the noisy marketing says, incomplete you get just the OS and that does not do anything, a browser that is a magnet for viruses, woms and trojan horses, you need to buy and buy and buy more expensive, incompatible MS software.

Open software is transparent, for every one to see. There are many choices and most of then just work, they don't cost and arm an leg, are Industry standard, and are much more efficient with your hardware, which leads to better performance. No need to buy a new computer every time you upgrade software. Most users never need to see the source, but if they want, is there, open to be seen and change. No S*&?%y license, no trowing your money down the rats hole before seeing if what you bought works and worth the money spent.

User of the MS proprietary secret closed software are stabed in the back time and again, when they find every time that all the noisy marketing anounced features are just lies, upon lies upon lies. They can never see what is in the inside of the software they buy, but due to its bad behavior they should suspect that the software must be full of crap, just as the company behind it.
