I've come to understand the extent that Microsoft goes to enhance shareholder value at the expense of the "end user". The driver is the (farcical) EULA, in consort with the political patronage of expanding copyright law and treaties. I'm OUTRAGED to read Steve Ballmer and the BSA on MSFTs behalf, talk about citizen "moral" duty in protecting MSFT intellectual property. I'm outraged to the point that I've changed my entire viewpoint on intellectual property. The way I feel about Bill Gates and Microsoft must be the same way our founding fathers felt about King George III and England. <snip> I wish I had my sound card hooked up so I could have heard the dramatic violins playing in the background of this message.
