Se ainda acreditam em contos de fadas, talvez fosse melhor lerem o que o Times (online) escreve sobre os golpes sujos da Intel e da microsoft em relação ao OLPC.
How Microsoft and Intel Conspired Against the GNU/Linux/AMD Laptops
Why Microsoft and Intel tried to kill the XO $100 laptop
Boycott Novell » How Microsoft and Intel Conspired Against the GNU/Linux/AMD Laptops
To give just one example: Intel sold computers at a loss (dumping) just in order to ensure OLPC could not get a foothold in Nigeria. Going by trade law, this may be illegal and it’s only the tip of the iceberg as far as Intel’s crimes go (there are more obvious cases where the company is to be convicted of bribery, too). Intel is now after Nvidia’s lunch because it seeks growth, so sit sight and watch. Nvidia is already complaining, just like AMD. Intel and Microsoft were recently caught engaging in collusion that harms consumers.
Why Microsoft and Intel tried to kill the XO $100 laptop – Times Online
The great, the good, the rich and the technocrats nodded in solemn approval.
And then some of them tried to kill it.
Microsoft, makers of most of the computer software in the world, tried to kill it with words, and Intel, maker of most computer chips, tried to kill it with dirty tricks. Of course, they don’t admit to being attempted murderers. And when I introduce you to Intel’s lovely spokesperson, Agnes Kwan, you’ll realise how far their denials go. But the truth is the two mightiest high-tech companies in the world looked on Negroponte’s philanthropic scheme and decided it had to die.

Demagogia barata…
A maneira de derrotar a Microsoft não é pensar _exactamente_ da mesma forma que eles e estar simplesmente do lado contrário, pá

boas antónio,
não percebo o que pretendes dizer com pensar da mesma forma.
eu por mim tanto me faz que a microsoft exista ou não, apenas peço que cumpra regras e siga padrões, apenas isso.
a microsoft com o mercado que tem e com o dinheiro que tem, não precisa de jogar por baixo da mesa para continuar a fazer muito dinheiro, basta-lhes fazerem bons produtos, o que acho que se quiserem podem fazer, de certeza que têm excelentes engenheiros lá, e deixarem de jogar contra tudo e contra todos e se seguirem os RFC se calhar tb não seria mau de todo
