Just one more reason not to use Micro$oft products.

What? People are just figuring out now that your Windows disk and preinstalled computer is just a lease.

Not owned by you.
"Suprise, Suprise, Suprise!", as Gomer Pyle used to say.

They don't even care how bad this makes them look anymore. Seeing the trend going from "personal computers" where you actually owned everything, to tablets where it seems you pay just for access to everything doesn't make me feel like a consumer anymore. I feel like cattle to them. Until it affects their bottom line I guess they don't care what the average user thinks.

People think Microsoft is too big to go bankrupt. I remember just a few years ago they said that about some other companies. It's just a matter of time.

oh I think sadly the feds would bail them out.

Only if it's in their interest to do so. Something would have to happen to cause Microsoft to lose enough money to go bankrupt, and the only thing I can think of that would do that would be either a mass move of users to other operating systems and software or lawsuits and bans keeping them from selling their products in large markets, such as the EU. If those things happened, the government might not see any reason to bail them out.

After 9-11 the government enacted new laws making it perfectly legal to spy on anyone in the interest of national security... All of our information is sifted through in the interest of national security, Christians will always be singled out as wacko's, the friends we keep the churches we go to "everything" Microsoft, Linux, and the rest make their big bucks in advertising, information in information out... get used to it

Hey guys Jesus is coming..

oh you mean in part. Canada, bailed their workers. I prefer that no one did loose their job but as it will be if gmc or mopar go south then more tax dollars will be heading their way. as im sure some politican is working that to his or her gain.
