Loyality with Microsoft SUCKS

Windows macht Frei!
CAUTION: That would happen if we give Microsoft the Power!
About the makers of Internet Explorer:
Bill Gates was a rich kid with well connected parents who hooked him up with a great licensing deal. He's not much of a programmer; nearly all of Microsoft's products were licensed from third parties. His company used the considerable clout gained by leveraging IBM’s mistake and ended up with an empire built upon automatic sales.

While dominating the industry, Gates repressed the advance of technology. He repeatedly promised to deliver the future but never quite did. In 1991, his company promised a new world of Cairo that it never delivered. Ten years later, it promised Longhorn, which similarly pushed through years only to emerge as a fraction of its goal.
We now have Vista, which is NT 6.0. Discounting the 3 versions of Windows prior to NT, it is really NT 3; in 20 years, Microsoft has delivered three freaking significant versions of its modern OS: NT 4, 2000/XP, Vista. That's on the level of what IBM delivered in 5 years of OS/2.
Meanwhile, Microsoft used its position to hold back and or destroy any technologies that pushed the envelope, to ensure everything would be tied to Microsoft's own proprietary standards. It assaulted the open web, Java, Linux, OpenGL, PDF... there is not an open standard Microsoft likes. It even hopes to replace JPEG and MP3.
Gates’ visions include Palladium Trusted Computing and Windows Media / PlaysForSure DRM, efforts to move all consumer technology to a “secure base” that allows media companies to leverage unilateral power against consumers, forcing them to pay through the nose and striping them of any notion of fair use rights.
Microsoft has utterly failed in all of its efforts to do anything outside of its protected Windows monopoly. Beyond servers, Office, and Windows, every plan to expand into new markets, from WinCE devices to the Xbox and Zune to Origami to MSN TV have all been economic failures.
It doesn't matter if you like to play Xbox games, the initiative has still been a huge loss of money in a desperate bid to maintain proprietary control in gaming using DirectX.

Is this the company you want ruling the software field? No experience outside of the protected walls of Microsoft, an advocate of anti-consumer policies, and the primary foe of open source?

Windows and Internet Explorer is 666-NAZI of Software
Note: Please help! Spread this warning around the world! PLEASE!
