An Ode to Microsoft

Recently, I traded in my Window XP (Dell) for a Powerbook. Well, actually, I did not have a choice. It crashed on me with little notice or respect for my deadlines. Even though, I practiced safe PC, Microsoft's software could not withstand all the holes in its program.
So, I vowed that I'd never buy another Microsoft product in my lifetime. Although the MacBook is Apple new product, I wanted to steer perfectly clear of anything remotely compatible or even similar to a Microsoft product.
I have grown to ABHOR Microsoft products so much so that I have unusual fantasies. One is of me pointing my short index finger at Bill Gates and saying:
"How dare you-- Mr. Gates create a product so vulnerable to viruses, trojans, and other online assaults. How do you look at yourself in the mirror knowing that your product is destined to wipe out the productivity of small business owners like myself -- every three minutes? And how dare you distribute the beta version of your products for hacks to learn how to commandeer American's private information.
How can a multi-billion dollar company unconsciously sell a product that is destined for infestation of viruses, cookies, and other unsolicited witnesses is beyond me. But, we do live in America where unethical business is lucrative.
But then I got to thinking-- Gates is more cunning than we give him credit. He is nothing but a technie dealer selling the bad stuff to the American population. He has reinvented the old supply and demand chain: When people don't buy new technology send a "patch" that makes them invest in a new system.
If you own a Microsoft product you're quite aware of what I'm talking about.
In the beginning, the product works like a gem because it delivers everything an Internet addict needs to get online to conduct business. It's verisimilar to the euphoria one feels when they start using drugs. Just like any good drug dealer, Microsoft starts sending updates. At first, these patches and software updates seem like an honorable gesture -- until the day, your system is victimized by a Trojan, a data miner or even a good old keylogger to incept your personal information.
If you're not convinced of Microsoft's gluttony -- can you tell me why they're planning to steal the spotlight from Google? It's not like Bill will be running out of money any time soon...
Moral of the story: Think twice before you invest in any Microsoft product.
