When your contract went from $n to $20$n that was the taxpayer's money. Not the company's money.* Some of it was taxpayer's money. The gov't threw in some more funds in the SINGLE renegotiation that occurred later. The company threw in more of its own money. The company will end up losing several times more than that size of the total original contract. And I was not involved in the original negotiation nor in the renegotiation. If you think you have proof to the contrary, put up`or shut up. Has Microsoft paid for that monstrosity of an OS with their money? No, the consumer has, and put a nice profit on top of it to boot [no pun intended]. Gimme a break. The consumer pays for essentially everything. Don't like it? Go to one of the few remaining Communist cesspools. Maybe they work better. Although I doubt it. You think MSFT is rapacious and incompetent? Start your own software comapny. If they're that bad, they should be an easy target.
