Microsoft Bashing Is More Than Getting Old

I for one am sick of the "Microsoft is the root of all evil groups". It's even more tiring and old than the "Blame Bush for everything" groups. There were ample opportunities for other companies to overtake MicroSnot. From Dr DOS to OS/2 to Lotus, To Ashton Tate to IBM to Borland. All of which had MicroSnot reeling at one time or another. MicroSnot won. They had the better business plan. They had what the market demanded. Yeah it's buggy. But it's what the consumer bought. The fact is the EU can't stand Capitalism. They can't allow the consumer to make a choice. If I were Bill Gates I'd take a page out of "Atlas Shrugged" and say "Fine. We won't sell Windows in the EU. Find something better A-Holes."

Follow up: I wouldn't be surprised if the EU took another page out of "Atlas Shrugged" and forced MicroSnot to sell their product at a loss under a different name. Much as Reardon Steel became Miracle Metal.
