What Microsoft needs to be doing...

blame, not Microsoft. Microsoft is a criminal
corporation taking advantage of the publics
ignorance, and selling a product full of
security and compatibility flaws. I find it
funny that so many blame Microsoft, when the
blame is to rest on those who support such
products.
The bottom line, Microsoft is becoming a big
evil, in bed with governments and supporting
a new fashion of morales based on
NEO-liberalism, what is good for the market must
be morally right.
Really, maybe we can blame the government for
not protecting, consumers from a criminal
corporation bent on grabbing a market at all
cost even if it means releasing new products
before they have been properly been tested.
Solution: All operating systems should be open
source,maybe a fantasy, but it would solve a lot
of problems, and would allow the customer to
actually know what he/she is buying, as of now
Microsoft consumers buy a package, not knowing
what is inside.
