Don't blame the player, blame the game! Microsoft is not evil. Trying to eliminate competition is called "doing buisness."

coldfusion: yes, they are being bribed:
The US military gets pre-release versions of their OSs (2k/XP were the biggies).
Bill Gates contributes heavily to campaigns he wants to succeed. "Campaign finances" are just a nice way of saying "cash (or otherwise) bribes"

So, they are evil for bringing an easy to use GUI into the homes of millions? Is it wrong for software companies to give pre-release copies of their software to people who want to develop next generation solutions today? Is it bad that a fine upstanding corporation wants to donate some money to this great country of ours? Leave MS alone ...it's those Linux guys ...they're the real bastards. They don't offer anything to help our computer illiterate grandmothers, our Army or our countries financial independence ...they're communists. Think about it ...REDHat ...coincidence????
