Please kids, no M$ bashing. -- rack

I'd never consider anti-microsoft talk as childish. It's the classification of anti-anything talk into inflamatory language which is immature. If you don't like a rant don't read it. Remember it's up to a reader to determine what is false or true.
Where does the double standard of not being able to condemn that which is praised come from? If we had more anti- discussion on things which are popular and more positive talk about matters which have a bad public opinion surely people would be more enlightened. - ABliss

MS has a terrible record of not donating products to charity organisations. Microsoft will simply ignore requests from charitable and community organisations for assistance in the provision of free software for the needy. Apple is often far more willing to donate products to charity.

You know what? This is garbage. Microsoft, and specifically Bill Gates, is a HUGE philanthropist. Here ([1]) are Microsoft's charity licensing terms and here ([2]) is a link to the Gates Foundation.

And how has he and the Gates foundation got all that money? One good doesn't make one bad become right in everyones eyes. I'd like to see sources from the person you're replying to. -- dpi.
