I read Eugen's post again and didn't find any facts that could be
assessed as "very precise". All I found was a lot of emotional
opinion and accusation of Microsoft and Ron.
As far as "> Microsoft has been repeatedly judged for bad business
practice and there
> is plenty of evidence that they have destroyed competitions due to
> monopoly abuse." is concerned, there has been a very lengthy court
case which seems to have proved very little. Could you be more
precise as to what you accuse Microsoft of? ... fact rather than
opinion and emotion please.
I am aware that there is a 'hate Microsoft' community. That is their
and you choice and right, but how is it that Microsoft has you by your
short hairs so that you cannot go elsewhere? That is your ultimate
right rather than the right to insist that Microsoft do business your
way.
You may see me as a Microsoft supporter because I am not in you hate
camp. All I see myself fighting is the injustice of false
accusations. I agree that Microsoft has not always been lily white,
but they have not been the devil incarnate. The same goes for their
competitors. In my opinion, their competitors were less lily white.
They are angry because they lost.
