Before one can defeat one's enemy, he must know that enemy intimately.
Know this then.
Microsoft, like Apple before it, and like Novell, have this in common: they are all run by one man megalomaniacs, their goal is absolute power using a slave labor workforce, they destroy and never create, they all steal intellectual property and at least one is a convicted burglar.
All of their employees are chosen for their ignorance and inability to understand higher level languages, in other words, they are hired off the street and never from a pool of real professionals. The reason for this is so that they cannot learn all of the software, nor do they understand it until it is too late and they and their lives are under the absolute control of their employer.
Your tax dollars pay to keep them in business.
Think about it.
They are a bunch of scared to death they're going to lose their jobs lackeys. Very sad people who cannot fend for themselves in a real world. Instead, they are dependents of people who are power crazy, literally, like Steven Jobs and Bill Gates. Both of these are acidheads, thieves, and impotent and insecure men who steal and monger power through the use of others to do their dirty work because they are cowards.
Allow them all to hang themselves with their own ropes.
But do not closed-mindedly ignore their operating systems, rather, study them, get to know them, so that you can crack them.
In cracking their weaknesses, you will crack their power base.
You cannot hit what you cannot perceive.
Perceive them for what they are, falsehoods.
