This is a freeware group. Open source is arguably a kind of freeware.
Isn't there one poster in this group who will side with me.
Possible reasons for keeping MS Windows and Office a monopoly:
1. I own stock in Microsoft.
2. Microsoft is paying me to troll groups and refute revolutions.
3. I didn't think of this myself.
4. Making Microsoft open source would hurt my paycheck.
Microsoft is a monopoly because it succeeds, just because you and a
bunch of loser geeks think otherwise doesnt mean it's right or most
people agree with you, you are not god, you know nothing about what
other people think, if you really know that much, you wont be so
miserable that you have to bash those who succeed to prove you are
‘different' and "smart".
Good Reasons to open source it.
1. Good guys win (meek shall inherit the earth).
Ha, since when loser becomes synonymous with “good guys",
2. Let's see exactly where they stole code if any.
If they stole anything, you have to first show your proof to prove your
allegation, it's your reponsiblities to prove it, not Microsoft, not
anybody's, you can's just request to ransack other people's home to
"prove" if they have stolen from you.
3. Programs that are on most people's machine no longer act in secret,
Most people didnt ask you to "free" them from Microsoft's secrecy, you,
like all those slashdot.org type geeks, take yourself too seriously.
we can see exactly what they are doing.
As said above, you dont have the right.
4. Steal the thunder or at least one of the key motivations of virus
writers/security threat.
So the best way to combat drug abuse is to legalize heroin？ You are
sooooo liberal.
5. Perhaps this opens most systems vulnerable tio other attacks like
say terrorists, but they use computers too.
I guess you strategy to combat terrorism is to spread AIDS so that
everybody's immune system is compromised.
6. Jesus prophecied that whatever was said in secret would be shouted
on the rooftops. It's going to happen anyway, why not now?
You are not Jesus, you can't predict the future, you might think you
are, but you are not, it's as simple as that.
7. Bill Gates can sleep easier. As he said recently nothing good
comes from him being the richest person in the world. Presumably
because of the exposure, but also because as the scripture says, those
who pursue wealth pierce themselves with many painful arrows. It's a
miserable experience to seek to be wealthy.
Those who steals from other will burn in hell, if it's miserable
experience to persue wealth, so why dont you donate your paycheck to
me? If you can't, Please shut up, open source hypocrite..
