Microsoft: A wolf in sheep's clothing is still a wolf | |

Microsoft has come over all repentant. The world's most aggressive company has rolled over and asked for its tummy to be tickled. Or at least that's how it seems. On Tuesday, Steve Ballmer made a speech in which he expressed regret for his company's past behaviour. He fully accepted the terms of the antitrust settlement and promised to abide by them. | ||

You know, for being this horrible beast everyone says they are, MS is pretty damned responsive and, for the most part, caring about it's customers.
I don't think I've ever heard of a large company who gave two you-know-whats about customer privacy. MS takes the extra effort in everything they do. Of course there are legions of Linux dorks with too much time on their hands analyzing every packet sent to or from Microsoft.com to look for anything to nail MS for. But when you talk with the employees and managers n'stuff, they are keenly aware of the privacy and security issues facing the company and their consumers. Windows .NET Server is pretty cool in that it ships lock-tight and there are many tools to assist in configuring security to ensure that maximum restrictions are still in place, but certain usage goals can still be achieved. I don't know any company that focuses this much on these kinds of things. |

| #5 I agree. Either way the author is trying to bash MS or he is an ignorant with no clues about Corporations behaviour. In order to be succesfull you must be aggressive. MS the most aggressive company ever? Come on! In the 60s companies were using the CIA to sovvert unfriendly Countries and we were not the only ones doing it. Bottom line is that a succesful economy is what allow a Nation to survive; when people stomach is empty the outcome is a revolution. |

"We, the free public, demand compensation for the terrible injustices against our computers wraught by Microsoft. The endless hours of rebooting Win9x, the lost productivity caused by segmentation faults in module [x,y,z] throughout the 1990's.... "
I am a member of the free public and I I think you can blow it out your #@$. If continued to buy the software version after version, its your own damn fault. |

| I bet you haven't talked to them either, trekkie. I renew licenses yearly and I don't have any problems. |

| You talk big, trekkie, but I don't believe you. It's so easy to repeat what others have said when attacking something. If you are so disgusted, then why are you still using Microsoft products? Perhaps your company has found that it is still less expensive to use Microsoft products than it is to use competitors products? If that is the case, then you are in a rather unsatisfyable position. |
