Undoing a wrong is always right though. The 100,000 people at Microsoft are a small fraction of the 7 billion worldwide.And much greater are they than Microsoft and its hoarding, gouging, shut-you-out, business models.

Microsoft should change their business model to operate around open source.
Barring that, they deserve to be shut down completely due to their proprietary nature which only harms the masses.

In the age of instant digital communication world-wide, significant growth comes from the mass of people working together, utilizing the special and unique talents and abilities in each of them. It does not come from "visionary individuals" as it has in the past. Those visionary individuals must now contribute to the overall whole, and then continue to work while watching the masses build atop their vision far faster than they ever could've achieved.

It is no longer one man or entity's vision and effort which brings great things to fruition, but rather such vision now serves as a spark which is then kindled, guided, directed, and brought to fruition, by the many (to serve the many).

"Oh the times, they are a-changin'."

>>>I don't know about that Rick. I am not talking about the programmers who have a high skill set, but there is a ton of Sales people. clerks, shipping people, secretary's, office assistants, mail boys, food vendors, etc., etc. This would be a huge misplacement for these people, and many many would have a hard time geting good employment.

>>Did you think about all those people when MS following debatable practices forced many companies to go out of business?
