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...


Best
