In what way is what Apple did to Henrik Huseby worse than than what Microsoft did to Eric Lundgren?
I mean, Apple sued a business and wanted property confiscated.
But Microsoft actually had someone sent to prison.
Louis Rossmann who became famous with his Apple repair videos, and is otherwise very critical of Apple repair policies, had some choice words for Microsoft in this case.

- baldfat 8y agoEric Lundgren should have had people install Linux on the computers or some other Open OS. The issue was Microsoft made $25 a disc for selling to refurbisher shops. 100% agree its stupid but once Eric was caught he was in the hands of federal prosecutors and MS Lawyers that needed to "defend" the value of their property. This is why we encourage people to stray away from closed OS.
