Shame on you, Microsoft, for penalizing honest consumers and cynically pretending to help the cause of education in an underhanded but successful effort to boost sales of your Office software suite.
Bill Gates and company got roasted in the courts of law and public opinion during the antitrust case that detailed Microsoft's abusive monopoly control of the Windows operating system for personal computers.
Yet the software colossus rarely gets called on misconduct related to its other near-monopoly: the Office suite containing the ubiquitous Microsoft Word for creating documents, Microsoft Excel for spreadsheets, Microsoft PowerPoint for presentations and Microsoft Outlook for electronic mail and calendar.
