Don't You Hate Pants?

Ok, so the EU just attacked Microsoft in their crazy courts because they feel that by bundling media player with windows, it hurts the competitors.

Teh Gayzorz.

And so now Microsoft is forced to pay some insane fine, and start selling windows without media player. Wow, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Maybe I'm not up to date on all this capitalism business, but isn't that a tad lame? I see absolutely no problem with Microsoft making windows with media player. Of course, that hurts other competitors that are trying to sell their stupid media programs. Obviously you idiots! What do you think their plan was? To make a faulty product, and thus let the opposition have more costumers? Yeah, that's a great plan, that'll get you to the top real quick.

It is a companies main goal to make a product or service that will make them money right? Whether that product be donuts, software, or couches, it doesnt matter. Why is it then, that when a company makes a superior product, they get punished for it? Why does the EU feel so superior, that they need to smite the giant?

This is just plain ridiculous. Microsoft makes a product, and puts bonuses in there so it will sell better, and they get smacked for it. Now, I will admit, lots of people just use media player, and they dont go purchase other media software. sucks to be them. Why buy a product when you've got a free one? Would any of you, if you were given a free corvette, go buy a honda civic just to be nice? Of course not. Why then is the world so mad at microsoft for giving out media player?

I'll tell you the truth, I don't use media player too often. I generally use winamp, something I downloaded legally for free. Lets go sue those guys too, because they make it so Im not gonna pay for some other software. That's so unfair of them. They're just stealing business from those poor innocent companies that are trying to sell me somethign I can get for free! What dirtbags! How are they ever to survive? Try programming something worthwhile!

If the world was to smite everybody that gave away anything free with another product, we'd all be hosed. What about all those deals where you buy one and get one free? Its true, Mcdonalds is truly satanic, and will ruin the worlds economy because they are giving out a 3rd bigmac if you buy 2.

~sigh~

I wish people weren't dumb.
