Monopoly can be forgiven. What's happening now cannot be forgiven.

Microsoft is more dangerous now, but it seems people just don't care. They use Windows despite having no assurance that Microsoft won't copy their data unbeknownst to them or spy on them in some way they don't realize or install some software they don't want. If this is better, give me 90's Microsoft anytime. At least they were just out for profits and domination then. I don't know what they're after now, but considering the revelations of the past few years and what this "operating system" does, the fact that they're making this information available to dangerous third parties is almost guaranteed.

The gullibility and stupidity of developers (like the author) is simply mind-boggling sometimes.
