Actually I was only making a joke about the positive side effects of the chain of events that MS has steered and why I now am still on N900 figuring out javascript and flash was always a bad idea and to some extend also adblock.

Now that you mention it, it is longer than a decade ago that blaming MS was "in" and that I had to spend countless hours trying to free memory above 640K to get this or that feature going in my game.

Now it is a good joke and truly, thanks to MS I am now double happy with the N900 the one full featured device that slipped out into the world under their watchful eyes and by so doing sealed its fate and end of bloodline. MS did it, period , incompetence and admiration of cold corporate financial logic let it happen.

If it wasn't for MS I would still be trying to run Javascript on the N900's successor or 2nd successor and it would never ever run fast enough.

Sticking it to the man MS has nothing to do with being "in" or "hip" in my opinion.
As long as MS continues to buy my preferred services like Hotmail in 200x and Skype in 2001x or rip apart my favorite Linux phone and upcoming point and shoot camera company, Nokia, I reserve the right to blame them for diminished standards of life.
Complaining about wars or weapons of mass destruction was also ten years ago, oh and terrorism, let's just stop paying attention and move on with our lives.

Agree, Flash and JavaScript were the most overused thing since sliced bread.
