This blog appears to argue that by bringing some but not all of it's products to Linux, Microsoft is engaging in Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (EEE). That's a tough sell. If you apply the same standard, virtually ever large company

Disagree. Humans naturally over-connect. We see causation where only correlation is present. Gamblers believe that something random that has happened frequently (like roulette landing on a specific number) is more likely to happen again. Ed

Purging is a legal requirement in all 50 states. Dead voters, those who've moved, and those who are ineligible (felons) must be removed. Red states like Ohio are criminally over-zealous and remove poor people. Blue states like Michigan
