I don't follow your logic. Just because something is successful I will automatically grow to dislike it? I have no problem using Microsoft, whom I supposedly "must" "hate," correct?
I don't care about funnelling money to large corporations. I work for a Fortune 200 company, which is #1 in their business field. I do, however, have a problem with funnelling money to large corporations who turn around and then funnel money to causes which are fundamentally opposed to my principles and beliefs -- enough to be listed in the Top 10 contributors to said cause. If I have to pick a side in this fight, it has to be Apple, who, while evil, is sort of a benign evil -- unlike Google. I went to a dinner where a VP of Google was the keynote speaker. And to a room of middle- aged executives and businessfolks, he railed on and on about "Don't be evil." And they're all laughing and giggling, and the whole time I am saying to myself, "You morons, he is MAKING FUN OF YOU. You are the ones he calls 'evil!'" And yes the irony of point that out while posting on a Google group is not lost to me. If MS got their act together as far as a mobile version of Windows which could supply Windows-like productivity, I am of the opinion that this market would be owned by them in a short order. One hopes that they learned their lesson with the Zune. Whether they did or not I don't know.
