>>I'm curious how far breaking the law is ok in your view then. What else is it ok for them to do? Rob a bank? Steal from the grocery store? Steal a car? Break into homes and steal another person's belongings? Anything they think they need to do for a better economic life?

>Funny how "breaking the law" suddenly gets explained via straight theft from a person. I somehow never see embezzlement, corporate fraud, Ponzi schemes, buying laws, Microsoft etc. As if any of these aren't a convincing example.
How did Microsoft land on that list?
I have never quite understood the antipathy some hold toward them. IMO they are a very successful, very well run company. Is that axiomatically evil? It may not be your flavor of choice but the fact is this is a capitalist country. You can make a pretty good case that MS is the most successful company we have. I would not want to be without products like Visual Studio, Visual FoxPro, SQL Server, and Office. Nor do I feel I have been gouged. As Charles Hankey likes to say, he has made a lot more money from Microsoft than they have made from him.
