The fact that you have to question the integrity of someone who says something positive about Microsoft in an anti-Microsoft post, while people defending Apple and Google and piling on MS in every other story get a free pass, is very tellin

Google outspent Microsoft in lobbying efforts spending in the US in 2011. Also, it has a commercial interest in SOPA not passing so their opposition is to be expected for their bottomline. If you think lobbying isn't done to enhance any com

Yea Office 2007 and Windows 7 are turds compared to the competition and we are better off with Google having 100% because only they have access to the most keyword click data. I am surprised you didn't call them M$.

Yes, those legacy servers went from 57 million in Feb 2011 to 88 million in Feb 2012, all running VBScript. VBScript must be the hottest programming language, right? Netcraft confirms it.
