I would absolutely LOVE to see and hear your evidence which bring you to
this conclusion. Microsoft has traveled a bitter and bumpy road to get
where they are today, and granted there may have been some wrong doings
of their employees over the past decade and a half, but the game the
company has played has been fair. If you are going to accuse Microsoft
of a 'chokehold' you really need to pull your head out of your ass.
Let's see, how many companies have expanded the world over traveling a
similar path? I can see just about every major defense contractor on
that list, of which many manufacture commercial products, such as Boeing
Inc. And let's not also forget IBM! What the hell kind of servers and
mainframes do you think that most telcos run as PBX's? Aside from all
usual courtesy, I'm just going to come right out and call you a dumbass.
%100 stupid. Get off this newsgroup if you're going to post shit like
this.

And also, somewhere along this line, you actually USED a microsoft
product. I'm sorry, so you are going to limit your users from OS's also?
DOS & Win 3.x, Win95, and WinNT. Sorry, would give you a shit's worth of
attention more than this message.
