Its because of a few reasons that this forum is loosing it.
a) people never do anything
b) people seem to live to far apart to do anything
c) people seem to not care.
Macman, I have said the same thing over and over join us we need to actualy think of somthing serious we can do about Microsoft.
Any Ideas? (Practical ones, yes geeks absolutely no suggestions of building a railgun to shoot bill or some other trekkie, star wars nut, or other lotr ttt idea, NONE).

What exactly can we do that's not illegal besides suicide bombing? Or is that now illegal too?? The only thing I can think of is some petition, but there are already enough of those and they don't do anything anyway. If Microsoft was vulnerable to us "commonfolk", someone would already have come up with something.
Pantso:
What these forums certainly lack is support from the Webmaster himself, who doesn't seem to really care anymore. Take a look at the homepage of this site for example, which hasn't been updated for I don't know how long. The only thing that is updated regularly, is the "Microsoft in the News section".

people have to learn the truth. but they also have to presented with an alternative. i know, everyone is saying linux!!! the only alternative. but linux is not easy. its not windows easy. online petitions are a joke. physical documents might help. pamphlets, flyers, a full-on media assault. so that everywhere people go, they are surrounded by info regarding microsofts malicious business practices, comparisons of their software to the alternatives, and where to get the alternatives. explanations of "Open Source Software" and "Free Software", explanations of the windows EULA. something physical and real. the only reason people flock to windows is because microsft has a presence everywhere. everywhere i turn, its microsoft. maybe we can reproduce that. then at least we can avoid suicide bombing their buildings ;)
TheQuirk:
We need to purcahse the Enterprise and fly it into the Microsoft HQ.
I mean... Ahem. Just kidding.
Kintaro:
Nice thinking 99.
Ever heard of protest, we dress up in penguin suits (Ok mac people can make hats out of iMacs or make a G4 suit.) and then we chain ourselfs up in there lobby yelling "Join us now and share the software, you'll be free, you will be freeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" (ect)
