I know that I certainly wont, I'm a Mac/Linux/any other non-microsoft system supporter.

Use MS Bing instead of google...
Hahahahahahahahaha.
And what? Let Microsoft kill another market? No chance.

Let's put it this way. Microsoft kills markets by using it's OS dominence and unfair buisiness practices. Becouse they have an OS dominance, they can convince people that their programs are always better. After that, they make sure there software is incompatible with anyone elses. If someone wanted to make their software compatible with Microsoft's, they would have to pay Microsoft lots of money. That's one way they kill a market.

Our fight back? Open source software which does not need money to survive (like firefox, which completely destroid microsoft's attempt at dominating the browser market and writting there own html standards), and honest companies (like Sun, only making money off of companies that use java products, not the users or the programmers). Unfortunatly they are still not popular enough.

So, to stop Microsoft we need to cut their OS dominance. That means we need a competing OS. Luckly we already have one called the Linux kernal, and has already dominated the server and supercomputer markets. Linux is completely free. The reason why people don't use linux is becouse microsoft make's sure windows is not compatible with it, thus making linux seem like a "toy" that can't be used. We need a big company that people rely on to make their twist on linux, so people think "this is not so bad", "we can use this." But who? Google! Google already has a search engine dominance, so when they give out a superior operating system (bassed on linux), it might acually be used.

Microsoft's last resort is to compete in the search engine market, and wipeout Google before Google, and the rest of the open source community, and the companies that microsoft failed to wipeout, dominate them. Lots of factors also give both Linux and Windows advantages. It's going to be close.

It's a stratagy to make your teachers stop asking you questions.
I kinda wrote it as I was looking it up so it ended up slightly longer than I thought. Also didn't notice the scroll bar shrinking. Oww well
