the hell are you talking about? "the state"? he's talking about a company with world domination plans, and I kind of agree with his point. the answer is that as a user you don't need Microsoft these days. at all. MS has enslaved the masses with marketing, but you still have a choice, and a very good one. I use linux on my desktop, firefox to browse, have a Rio MP3 player that needs no special crap software like itunes or any of the fairplay stores, have a nokia smartphone, a linux based PDA, use OOo for my docs, Gimp for picture editing, and HR Block's web based taxcut works fine in firefox for my online e-filing needs. When I have to use windows, I get pissed off that it doesn't work the way I need it to, and often times the only way to get it to work is to spend more money on sub-par software.

you don't have to be a slave to Windows.
