As much as I believe MS has wrong in the past, I think it is completely ludicrous to believe they actually want to take over the world. 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 > There is a story that I once read where a thinly disguised MS > and Disney merged.
