Infostream: It is not the ordinary folks who hate MSFT ( in fact they have made MSFT what it is today) - it is the political have nots that do.

Actually there are quite a few idealist who see anything big as bad and oppressive. That's why some of the wild-eyed Linux apostles (as opposed to normal Linux users) are starting to turn on Red Hat.

Maybe MSFT should check the US government for piracy and see how many desk tops are unregistered. Let's play some real hard ball.JFD

I agree. I thought about this in the past and figured that they shouldn't antagonize the government, but now they should audit all the government accounts and seek full remedies as allowed by law. They should start with the US Justice Department, the rest of the executive branch, and 19 particular states.
