That's true... Microsoft is a steamroller that you don't want to be in front of.

And it has demonstrated an ability to break laws, and get away with it.

This company has killed two major industries in this country: The OS industry and the Applications industry. Back in the early 80s there were a half dozen viable Operating systems, now there are few. The number of large software companies has shrunk greatly too-- in fact, basically there is no opportunity for someone with a good idea to start a software company anymore. Microsoft will steal the code if its a good idea or simply recreate it themselves.

How can you compete when Microsoft will violate copyright laws and get away with it?

In other words, two murders have happened here.(The OS industry and the Applications industry)

If there is Justice in this country, Microsoft will be shut down by the federal government, its stock made worthless, and all of its intellectual property made public domain.

Anything short of this, and they are getting off easy.

Of course, there being little justice in this society, they will probably get off easy.

If you have MSFT stock, you are scum. You support the criminals, and you are an acomplice.
