Poor Microsoft
OVER THE PAST 27 days we’ve published:
Microsoft’s “Talking Point” Memo and the Anti-GNU/Linux StudiesUpdate from Kerala (re: EDGI, Expelled Leaders)More Microsoft Cronies in United States Government, Other CompaniesDNS Suspended by Microsoft Windows BotnetsThe History of Microsoft’s Multi-boot SabotageA Federal Court Judge Might Force Microsoft to Pay Up Money It Hardly HasMicrosoft’s Plot to Harm Standards, Stifle Cross-PlatformMicrosoft and Politics (Against Google)Microsoft Antitrust: “The Linux Threat on the Desktop” (2006) and Predatory ResponseJim Allchin (2002): “There’s Going to Be a Patent Lawsuit on Linux” (Analysts Cartel Part V)Death by Microsoft WindowsHas Microsoft Just Invested in Another Lawsuit Against IBM?How Microsoft May Deal with European Antitrust: MouthpiecesGartner Group Corrupted by Microsoft (Analysts Cartel Part III)Microsoft’s Brad Silverberg: “Cut Those F*ckers Off”The Microsoft-Gartner Deal (Analysts Cartel Part I)Has Microsoft Just ‘Pulled an EDGI’ on 72,000 Schools?EDGI Finale: Microsoft’s “Linux Compete Squad”Microsoft’s EDGI in India: Fighting GNU/Linux in EducationMicrosoft Chief: “Under NO Circumstances Lose Against Linux”EDGI Finale: Microsoft’s “Linux Compete Squad”Microsoft’s EDGI in India: Fighting GNU/Linux in EducationMicrosoft Chief: “Under NO Circumstances Lose Against Linux”Microsoft’s Internal Presentation on How to Fight GNU/LinuxBill Gates: “Where Are We on This Jihad?” (Against Linux at Intel)Old Proof That Microsoft Dislikes Free/Open Source SoftwareEnvironmental Disinformation in the Microsoft PressMicrosoft on “Maintaining Gap vs Linux” Using “Patents“, “Children’s Software“Microsoft’s Dumping Strategy Versus GNU/Linux (EDGI Continued)Microsoft EDGI: How It WorksMicrosoft Vice President Teaches PR People How to Spin Anti-Linux ProgrammeMicrosoft Dumps on India, South Africa, MaltaGovernment Affairs or Just Cheating?Microsoft Accused of Profiteering ($1.5 Billion) from Crime with IntelAt Microsoft, “Fear Uncertainty Doubt (TALKING POINTS)” is Formal StrategyIs Microsoft ‘Pulling an EDGI’ on Kerala? (Updated)It’s Not a Donation, It’s AddictionwareGary M. Stewart (aka “Flatfish”) About Microsoft AstroTurfing: “It’s made me A LOT of money….”Microsoft History of Exploiting Free Labour Repeats ItselfMicrosoft Sends Its ‘Partners’ to Prison
All that was accumulated in less than one month. We’ve run this Web site for over two years, just for proportion’s sake. Microsoft will continue to rely on people’s limited memory; there is so much one can remember. The press, for example, has already forgotten the OOXML corruptions.
Among some older posts we have:
Microsoft Smear Campaigns in India: Watch and Be DisgustedMicrosoft Has Been Rigging Votes/Polls for AgesMicrosoft Blast from the Past: Lawsuits and FraudMicrosoft Blast from the Past: Ads Banned for Spurring ViolenceMicrosoft Blast from the Past: Compatibility GamesMicrosoft Blast from the Past: Conspiracy and Money LaunderingMicrosoft Blast from the Past: BlackmailMicrosoft Blast from the Past: Lawsuit Comes from Justice Department, Novell Serves as ‘Puppet’
To quote a recent comment (made in response to a commenter who works for Microsoft):
> That’s a lot of opposition. Microsoft’s a large corporation. Do you oppose large corporations? The history of taking advantage of patents? Misusing its monopoly status? Its outsourcing of American jobs? The fact that it competes with other software vendors? Its recent contributions to the Free Software world? Its market dominance? Its choice of logo colors? The poor support for CSS 2 in IE 6? You forget to ask so many things. How about:Do you oppose bribery?Do you oppose financial fraud?Do you oppose tax evasion?Do you oppose supporting the death of poor children in Africa?Do you oppose illegal dumping of goods to starve competitors?Do you oppose outright sabotage of a competitors’ technology?Do you oppose blackmailing?Do you oppose buying laws overseas to harm the local people?Do you oppose fishing a competitors’ workforce only to cause their destruction?Do you oppose collusion?Do you oppose false advertising?Do you oppose funding companies to sue competitors?Do you oppose bullying professors for for their honest assessment of a technology?Do you oppose smear campaigns against volunteer advocates of a technology that’s not yours?Do you oppose embezzlement?Do you oppose overthrowing CIOs (to have them replaced by cronies)?Do you oppose “planting” articles in the press?Do you oppose bribing professors?Do you oppose treating kids like a drug addicts, by own admission?Do you oppose setting up AstroTurf Web sites?Do you oppose polluting forums and newsgroups using undercover agents? (violation of EU laws)Do you oppose crashing competitor’s parties?Do you oppose liaising with the Bush regime to intrude the computer of each person?
The response to which this was made sheds light on how detached Microsoft employees are from reality. They believe that Microsoft is disliked because it is “a large corporation”, because it “competes”, because it “contributes” to the Free software world and because its logo has multiple colours. █
