Raymond - No organization is necessarily evil, but (in most matters where large numbers of people are concerned) the nature of power to attain more. This often comes at the expense of morals and social values, which is the big fear when it comes to MS. The antitrust case was one example, you just can't let anything grow too large without consequences for everyone else. Ask yourself if you really want to live in a world where business is dominated by Redmond, Orlando, or wherever the other huge corporations are headquartered.

MS may be wrong (at times), but evil? This is not to say evil doesn't exist in the world, of course it does, but to say (or imply) that an entire corporation actually wants to rule the world.... just plain silly if you ask me. Do you really, truly, _honestly_ believe Disney is out to get you? Sure, that talking Mickey tracks you (and do you have info on this, I haven't heard of it). I assume they do that to gain data on where people visit. They _don't_ do in order to plot their take over of the country. Now getting off topic - we must remember that many things we lump together w/ evil are just plain stupid. Take the record companies - many people think they are wrong for jacking up the price of CDs and not offering (well, not till lately) sales of singles. That is in no way an evil act. It's just an act of stupidity for not realizing the gains they could make cutting prices or offering digital downloads. -ray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Your ad could be here.
