The lies of Microsoft executives....(AntiTrust)

United States v. Microsoft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I dont see anything wrong with IE being bundled together. I do however have a problem with

and with MS making it difficult to install Netscape;
and finally with tactics like:

 

Welcome to the huge club of msft bashers.

I'm sure you'll get just as much satisfaction as everyone else has had over the years.

 

And the purpose of this anti-Microsoft thread???

 

Exactly !

I could find 100 bad things to bash Apple for but why?

 

\0/ viva Microsoft long live \0/

 

Seriously Apple is worse, and no one gives them grief.
Having Flash on your phone is such a big deal /twirl

 

This has been discussed ad-nauseum all over the net in recent years. It's a tired old subject. As much as I'm an open-source advocat and like linux, Microsoft does make some pretty decent software from time to time.
Intel has also engaged in anti-competitive nature in the past, yet they make good processors and stable chipsets.
Still, I don't understand the point of this anti-Microsoft rantage. If you don't like 'em, don't use 'em.

It's rather stale. MS may have been a little protective of it's OS but then again Apple is totally a closed system which protects it's intellectual properties and selectively licenses to software/hardware manufacturers. People don't have to use IE. I see it as an extra feature instead of bringing the downfall of other browsers. As I can recall the Netscape browser was a modified IE browser. I don't see Apple users complaining about Safari as it's only browser.

 

It seems that some people are slow to learn that every corporation lies just as every government does. That is simply because their structure and modus operandi are similar, if not the same.

 

What people forget is that Apple decided not to offer any licensing of their OS until it was too late. In reality Apple operated a stringent monopoly with OSX, while Microsoft would sell anything to anyone. And half your argument is netscape, really?

Trololololol
