MSFT used to be exceptionally evil. Halloween documents, how they screwed IBM with OS/2, their fake pen windows demo to kill Go corp, SCO trials, the skullduggery with Netscape and the antitrust case.

They pillaged and burned the competition in the 80s and 90s, legendary stuff.

Now what? They have a cloud login like everyone else?

Well ok!



They used their ill-gotten market dominance to turn the desktop personal computer into a dystopian spyware machine for which the primary function is to serve ads and drive MS engagement. I struggle to think of any entity in the modern world that has subverted the potential of the information age more profoundly than Microsoft, they are a pox on mankind and a net loss to humanity
