i won't be putting my name to that. it contravenes my two requirements for a petition worthy of my signature. firstly it has no evidence or reasoning to back up its convictions, and secondly it addressed the signatories and not the intended recipient. that really annoys me in a petition. it should be FROM 'we the undersigned' and TO whoever is empowered to do something about whatever the grievance is.

and "windows is crap" is not going to convince anybody, least of all me.

That and the fact that it will be a cold day in hell when an online petition can close down such a large corporation. (much less do anything at all actually)

I wouldnt sign that piece of crap as there is no evidence. Besides those petitions are useless.
