Are you for real? Ever used Google services with a different browser than Chrome? Google is doing the exact same shit. And this is your "proof" that Microsoft is evil?
Nope, never. This is actually the first time I hear about this. Which is funny, because my field of work is system administration in a Windows environment.
No. Are you sure that the problem here is Windows? Do you know how much Microsoft tests updates which need to be deployed to several 100 million PCs?
No, because I don't use software which is 7 years old and obsolete on my own PC, and because I am able to prevent stuff like this if I have to.
See above. Is this supposed to be a joke? How is this proof that Microsoft wants to "destroy their competition"?
Right. And because this case was so substantial, it paved the way for millions of lawsuits which ruined Microsoft. Oh wait, that didn't happen. Maybe because this case had very specific, special circumstances?
