PC>On 10 Jun 95, Russell Brooks said to Paul Conroy, and I
PC>quote...
PC> RB> But wasn't it Microsoft that started the whole Idea of
PC> RB> supplying dealers with a version of their software to
PC> RB> be sold with new machines, under a special
PC> RB> price/licensing arrangement.
PC> RB> It suited them when they thought they could sell
PC> RB> more/make even more money, but when they see the idea
PC> RB> abused they bitch. They are still making money on the
PC> RB> deal, just not as much as they otherwise could.
PC> RB> GREED has got them.
PC>I think you're correct! But MS are professionals at double-
PC>standards. Take a look at Communique each month to see MS's
PC>idea of the world thru their eyes..
PC>I got my hide smacked for warning this echo about MS OEM
PC>raids on shops by do-goodders who are quick to come out and
PC>support MS's raids on little family owned businesses cos
PC>they obviously have alterior motives or are pratts without
PC>reason.
PC>And the swap meets, MS's have been checking them out and
PC>are preparing a swoop on the little people who make maybe
PC>$5 on a CD.. It's the same old swatting of the little
PC>people that MS loves to do. Anyone who comes out in
PC>support of the ta ctics of MS's private army are either
PC>suspect themselves or must love seeing the small business
PC>man/woman getting the hard squeeze 'cos they're not doing
PC>anythi ng wrong.
PC>"limited edition
PC> with a limited supply
PC> that was the reason
PC> we all had to say goodbye..
PC> Who? Microsoft!"
Well put, you put it so much clearer than I did
