Has Microsoft Changed?

from the not-really dept

The Economist takes a look as to whether or not Microsoft has changed at all since they were told they would have to split up. There certainly have been some cosmetic changes that make them seem like the kinder, gentler Microsoft we can all love and trust, but the reality isn't so nice. Microsoft is still the 800 lb. gorilla that is looking to crush everyone else and use its monopoly power to force us to give them more money. Did anyone actually think they would really change? This is Microsoft we're talking about.

    Windows pissed me off again yesterday... so I deleted it. Kubuntu is better. Whenever Windows pisses me off I delete it for about 6 months and then install it again when I think it has learned its' lesson. It usually doesn't learn though.
    :(
    Why does it want to make me sad?
