1. No, every moron conpiracy theorist out there THINKS Microsoft is a monopoly. Every educated person who knows what a monopoly actually is knows that Microsoft is NOT a monopoly. 2. Yes, boycott Microsoft. So basically you're boycotting almost the entire genre of PC gaming as well as an entire half of the HD console generation. All because of your misinterpretation of the word "monopoly". Sony is every bit as evil of a company as Microsoft is. Shouldn't you boycott them too? How soon we forget that a couple of years ago Sony was trying to slip rootkits on to our PCs by adding them to all audio CDs or that they charge such a high premium for their latest console because they're trying to shove BluRay down everyone's throat. Shouldn't we just boycott them too? How about Nintendo who has drastically decreased the manufacturing cost of the Wii, yet still will not lower the price one cent. 3. But let's get back to the monopoly thing for a moment. Have you noticed at all that Apple is digging more into Microsoft's market share these days? Have you noticed all the companies switching over to Linux to save money on licensing? Have you noticed that Microsoft is putting on a pretty aggressive Apple-targeted marketing campaign right now in order to finally address those BS "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials? If Microsoft was a monopoly, none of this would be going on. You can "boycott" whatever you want for whatever stupid reason you want, but at least understand what you're boycotting first. I truly believe that 95% of all boycotts are unfounded and that about 99% of all INTERNET boycotts are completely pointless and baseless. Especially these "army of one" boycotts like "Boycott ***** because they didn't give a good review to a game I like!!" Please. |
Damn!! I couldn't have said that better myself. You made some good points there.
