You obviously either never took or failed debate in High School. Ad
hominem attacks are very amateurish.
Can you address the fact that Microsoft either stole or bought
everything they've ever sold? What's ironic is that the Big Thief is
crying about piracy.

Another amateur debater who thinks that ad hominem attacks (look it up)
are the proper way to debate someone.
Can YOU address what the web site says or can you only go after my
persona in a lame attempt to change the subject?

What debate? OK.. lets start one.. why do you feel the need to keep
expressing opinions that nobody cares about? Why do you think that you
should get MS products for free?
Lotus bought in Programs.. WordPerfect Org bought in programs.. Panasonic
copied Hoover when they produced vacuum cleaners.. Nissan use the same shape
bodywork as BMW..
WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are the human equivalent of an '8 track' tape..

MS didnt steal all those technologies... Most were acquired after proper,
legit arragnements with their creators. And as for the categorization of
theft on the site you pointed out, there's no such term as stealing in
development and creation... The Patent Organization is responsible for
telling copycats and inspirations apart...Even if they are mistaken, that is
nobody else's business. And as you can probably see for yourself, no MS
technology has been out of commerce due to 'theft'.
How's that for an answer? Is that another 'ad hominem' attack in your mind?
If yes, then you should seriously consider your debating methods. And
remember that in modern business, EVERY good idea is copied. EVERY SINGLE
ONE, patented or not. And thank God MS managed to bring all those great
ideas under collective platform. That's their innovation. The pricing
politics for that innovation are another matter.

When people start resorting to ad hominem attacks, all that shows is
they have no rebuttal.

Surely, you come here expressly to take insults? or certainly know that you

OK. Allow me to rephrase that.
