Name one person who was forced to buy a Microsoft product.
In other words, name one person who paid more for a Microsoft product than
what that Microsoft product was worth to them.
You see, even Microsoft, one of the most anti-competitive corporations out
there, even they were still forced to follow *dictates* from the public.
Indeed, on the news yesterday was a story about Microsoft "writing off"
some losses, because they had launched a number of products that nobody
wants to buy. Thus, per the dictates of the public, they were withdrawing
them.
