Any source for the 10 times claim?


Microsoft has no ethics and as a monopoly conducted business in 3rd world countries in a shameful way.

You want sources? Search for:

- The Microsoft licensing corruption scandal

- Microsoft corruption Bulgaria

- Microsoft corruption Rumania

- Microsoft corruption Indonesia

- Microsoft corruption Argentina

...and the list goes on.


lol, nope. Like, what unit does one even measure corruption in?

GP appears to be expressing a rote dislike of MS uncritically carried through from the 90s. Nowadays they're nowhere close to Google or FB in terms of EITHER anti-competitive business practices or user/consumer/human hostile product designs.

This one is measuring traeason, corruption needs a different measure. I think that would be MegaCrassus If you stick with Rome.

One needs a big scale unit because the subject of 'Microsoft' and 'Google' does imply a very big scale...


Try and install Chrome on Windows 10 and tell us that again.


I suggest dollars would fit the situation


That's odd, I thought dollars were a unit of virtuousness. /s


No kidding, two sides of the same coin. Not claiming a sacred cow, but least MS has a viable business model outside of selling user data. Duck Duck Go is a better search engine than Bing or Google, anyway.


In what world do you get better results in ddg than Google search
