And it's entirely possible the will be trounced by google and cloud computing in the near future. I was against it at the time, but they really should have been broken up. They absolutely should have. I could not imagine a clearer case of unfair trade practices. There are countless examples, but the best examples are where they GAVE AWAY Excel to drive Borland out of business when Borland had the superior product. But they did it with languages and pretty much everything else, as well. But they are in trouble and they know it. Google's Android is going to kill them. And this bogus attempt at the search business ("bing", my ass) is destined to fail just as every previous effort has. The reality is that MSFT doesn't have an innovative bone in its body. They deserve to die.

MSFT wouldn't have happened in another country. And it's entirely possible the will be trounced by google and cloud computing in the near future. I was against it at the time, but they really should have been broken up. I am just amazed at the attitude. The damn company is making money hand over fist......has a building program in Redmond that rivals Dubai.......has had good gov't support. But now the assholes are upset because Obama is tightening the tax laws and so they're going to take their marbles and go play in another yard. Such sh*t! The corps in this country are treated like kings and they still complain.......24/7.
