Funny stuff, considering Bill is the world's most
notorious-- and richest-- cyber criminal.

Too many forget that he's a CONVICTED white collar criminal.

Cyber Crime
Overview

Cyber crime consists of specific crimes dealing with computers and
networks (such as hacking) and the facilitation of traditional crime
through the use of computers (child pornography, hate crimes,
telemarketing /Internet fraud).

Microsoft has been convicted of monopolistic pratices, not cyber crime.

Please get your facts straight.

And of course, there's an enormous difference between a corporation being
convicted of something and an officer or board chairman of that corporation
being convicted.

Yeah, he was only the guy in charge. LOL! How do you put a company in
jail, Ken?

You can't. And that's one of the very big differences I was talking about.
Under certain circumstances, the guy (or guys) in charge *can* be held
criminally liable, but that wasn't the case here.

Notice I said "Microsoft", not "Bill Gates".

A corporation is a ficticious person. How can such be made to
physically, psychologicaly or mentally suffer?

Ever seen Erin Brokovich?

Ok then, how's this:
"Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream
A flash of lightning in a summer sky
A flickering lamp, a phantom and a dream."
-Diamond Sutra

Smoke and mirrors. It's all an illusion. Grasp at straws, shoot
rubber-bands at ghosts...

Here we are, it might be an illusion but it's as real as it gets.

Great show, too. Who pays for it? We the people do.

Yes, of course. That's why I said "and." I was adding to your post, not
disagreeing with with it.

The officers and the board chairman are the organs of corporations! If
corporations does anything wrong you apprehend the officers.

It's been popular to bash Microsoft for security, but in reality Bill
and the Gang are taking some pretty effective action against it.

If I developed dos and windows. The same would be said for me. Or
anybody else who did the same.
