Ah. That explains the preference for Windows over Linux. :)

So is Bill [gates] a businessman, or a thief?

You probably aren't aware that I am a libertarian.
A transaction where a willing buyer buys something
-- even if that something is crap -- from a willing
seller can never be theft.

It is if the seller violated law and ethics in
restricting your choices.

Do you mean a seller restricting a buyer's choices
during the transaction where a willing buyer buys
something from a willing seller, or do you mean
the seller doing something outside that transaction?

I mean a seller killing off competiton by various illegal means, so
that you as a buyer have little choice. The courts should have broken
Microsoft up into separate OS and applications companies.


In the same way, as long as Microsoft doesn't stop me
from buying a Macintosh or installing Linux, selling
Windows is not theft. This is not to say that MS does
not engage in unethical and illegal business practices,
just that selling a copy of Windows is not one of them.

Selling Word is, because they deliberately and illegally boogered
Windows to break their competitors' apps.

There should also be a law against selling criminally bad software.
