"If I understand what communism is, the businesses are actually run and controlled by the government."
No, that's socialism. Communism is where people are all equal in the fact that they all use their specialties and innate talents to contribute to the greater good. In a true communist society, there is no government. There may be people who speak for the group, but it is supposed to be speaking the general consensus.
Of course, as a realist you can see the issue with that, can't you?

What functionality I don't want is having to upgrade messenger, and finding that it switched a bunch of crap in my browser, like searching from the address bar, and having to go through the chrome settings to fix it.
I thought that I read the disclaimers, but apparently not well enough. But I'm sure that it never said "Replace the default search in Firefox with Bing!"
I know that it wasn't Ballmer stating to do this, but some marketing drone talked to some codemonkey about getting Bing out there, and the end result was that I had to remove what is essentially crap adware and corporate shenanigans from my browser.
And I herd you liek mudkipz.

Then print out every wikipedia article that deals with file formats that you think are relevant.
Not if the MPAA has its way.
Or language teaching hardware.
Best argument for shooting artists I've heard all week!
One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a new model.
