... Ah yes, trying to feed the world where hunger is rampant is an evil thing when done by corporate "insert name here".

It's only because of Microsoft's dominance of the market. They achieved this dominance not by providing good software, but rather by user the drug dealer's / gangster model in which they are very lax about people copying their crappy software, and then pressuring them into paying out with the BSA. Meanwhile, people became dependent (addicted) to their file formats such as xls and doc, in a vicious cycle making Microsoft ever more powerful over people's will. They didn't kill off the competition by providing better products and services, they just bullied their way through by threatening distributors and hardware manufacturers, and later consumers. Today, Microsoft is still doing this by providing "free software" to third world schools and governments, much like Nestle does by providing "free powdered milks and baby formula" in Africa, or like Monsanto does when providing super seeds to struggling farmers. As I heard someone say recently "if Al Capone were alive today he'd run a tech company". -- Alejandro Imass _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
