say goodbye to my money microsoft

Oh Microsoft. I had some respect for you once. You made some great products in your heyday - the Office line, XP - but maybe with the realization that Vista is crap you’ve begun clawing at all your competition on your way down. Who is your biggest threat? Disillusioned people such as my self now who are sick of your monopolizing bullshit. This is the headline from zdnet.com that almost made me jump out of my chair and punch the XP toolbar on my screen:

Report: Microsoft says open source violates 235 patents.

I hope you try to sue the pants of the OLPC group giving away supercheap laptops running linux to poor children across the world. Who do these open source fuckers think they are trying to give third-world people an equal chance with technology? They should be paying you royalties (I don’t know if the exchange rate for goats from Rwanda is this time of year but I am sure you can find it somewhere).
