Why do you think every thing is a defense of MS$? (By the way the
Mafia is an illegal entity and crime never is justified.)
I have no friggin idea how much they hold back and I never mentioned
them once in all I wrote. I was giving broad general Brush strokes.
Me thinks you are showing signs of paranoia.
Or at least MS$ on the brain.

Expectation is not an entitlement. There are good profits and bad
profits. See note on "mafia."

Have you looked up how much MS retained ($100B) and how that compares to
other corporations? It recently had to disgorge $32B to avoid paying an
"excess retained earnings" penalty.

Is MS now also a "public utility?" I missed that one. I guess that makes
them entitled.
