I think every big software company is guilty of the same thing. We just notice Microsoft more because we've been working with their stuff and the company is everywhere. I've contracted with Hollywood to write a screenplay..."It's a Wonderful Lifecycle"....it's all about showing the MS-bashers what their lives would have been like, had MS never risen to the top.
I'm thinking of getting Beth Massi to play Mary - assuming she can sing, "Young Bill Gates, can you come out tonight?"
