First, Microsoft has a much better brand name now than they did around ten years ago, when hardly anyone managed to write their name without replacing the s in their name with a dollar sign.

Second, they have made more revenue the last then years than any other decade and a half. That is what a business is ment to do, and they can only do that if more people are willing to buy their products inclusive their business ethics.

Under monkey boy, microsoft has turned profit UP which is amazing considering they had almost 100 percent market penetration to start with, and they have released the version of Windows that has received the best reviews of any windows version yet. This is the leadership you are saying is not competent.

So basically we're left with you liking microsoft less this decade.

Considering a total madman is leading microsoft, they are doing really good. For now.

If you want to continue on this subject, feel free to do so in notes or move us to a new thread in offtopic.
