Hi Jerry! Well, in the real world decent water is not always that available (If it were, you would not have the water problems that exist worldwide. Note: I hate the comparision of decent water to M$ products since M$ products have never been decent...). If the cost of decent water is higher than the value of sheep, your fsck'ed. Analogously, corporations have alot of cash already invested in M$ products. They are not interested losing those investments. They view (Note the word view...) the cost of forced migration as higher than what it's worth. Therefore, they *will* support Balmer on this issue. It very simply cheaper. It's not a matter of right or wrong, it's a matter of money, investments and lots of FUD. I do not like BG, Balmer and company. Furthermore, both BG and Balmer have proven time and time again that given the opportunity, they willingly break laws: Laws that if any of us broke, the result would be an extended stay in a Grey Bar Hilton. However, in the case of M$, the first law of influence, justice and equality prevails: All men (And Women) are equal under the law. It's just that some are more equal than others...
