Does anyone else take offense to the tone of this article? No doubt written by an anti-Microsoft, anti-business, anti-capitalist, anti-American reporter who takes glee in any mistake Microsoft may make. Now, I've had my problems with MS, but there's no denying that its OS, e-mail, and other software have brought computing to the mainstream--not only in America, but worldwide. That in turn has allowed those in oppressed societies, and with courage none of us can ever expect to display in our lifetimes (especially this glass-bubbled idiot), the opportunity to reveal the injustices in this world. Not only that, Bill Gates has returned hundreds of million dollars of his earnings to support philanthropic causes that this liberal jerk no doubt claims to support at the corner pub, but probably hasn't contributed a cent to himself. Let's also not forget the millions of those who peripherally have been able to support their families off MS's worldwide mainstream success: journalists, magazines, programmers, coders, retail market (B&M and Internet sites) , investors, etc.
Forgive my rant, but when this a**hole spits diatribe as he did in the opening sentence of his article, all credibility is immediately lost. Absolutely report on MS's stumbles and failures, bit leave your personal bias out of the equation, and check your jealousy for MS's success at the door.
