Criminal DNA to the core. Need to be knocked down to a size where they are
forced to actually compete (since they are incapable of it, they won't last
long in that state). The company will implode sooner or later, as it has
served its original purpose for Gates.
Hyperbole. Ur doin it rite!

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
I'd prefer to ignore them completely too, but we
all pay a price for
their colossal crime spree in various ways (including this specific
one). When they're gone, we can get back to advancing computing
instead of see it used as a launchpad for extortion.
What, specifically, is holding back this "advancing" of computing?
Plenty of open hardware and open software out there, and people are
doing all sorts of creative things with it.
