What I believe is irrelevant. You're proposing emotional reaction based on a 
future hardware requirement that has not been proposed, is not in the interest 
of Microsoft or their OEMs post-Windows 8 requirement efforts requiring the 
disable feature, all for the singular purpose of destroying a 1% market. And I 
think your proposal is highly irrational and without merit.

Yes, let's have emotional breakdowns on list in the meantime too. Great use of 
time.

Clearly what every company wants more than growing their markets, is to have 
pissed off angry customers who were forced into being customers, because their 
prior platform was willfully destroyed in a wild but massively successful 
conspiracy. There's simply no potential for saboteurs in that market growth 
strategy. All for a 1% claim.

Based on this, Microsoft might want to, I don't know, blow up Longhua, to make 
Apple do a face plant. That'd translate into some real market growth for 
Microsoft.
