This is fine but what do you intend to have in Microsoft's place, true it can be said that they have "behaved badly" to some companies and that they may or may not have ripped off software packages, they may also have an unholy alliance with Intel and memory producers. Or perhaps they are steering a course through an Industry that is in fact driving itself to some degree. Of course we can all point the finger at Microsoft, but that would be the easy way out. If it was not for Microsoft bringing together the fragmented industry together, we would all still be at the Mercy of the Commodores and the Apples of this world. Whilst i do not believe that Microsoft are altogether good for the direction of the software industry they are constantly pushing the boundaries which define it. So perhaps instead of forming campaigns to bring Microsoft down to size which you will fail at ! You should concentrate your efforts and your groups into providing us "Users" and "Developers" with your version of the future.
