Comment How about the other way around? (Score 1) 264
Well, I've been saying something like this for ages. Only it's the other way around. Why would the government try to disrupt and destroy MS if MS was it's biggest spy? Seems coutner-productive. Taking teh chance to seem uninformed, I'll present a little strange, but possible possibility. Perhaps the feds are attacking MS because they AREN'T spies, and refuse to be spies. IBM, and other big folks have been helped along in their lives by Government contracts, which we all know pay 5 times as much for things. So, here's MS uncontrolled by the government, so the feds decide to burn them. Seems like a plausible situation. Atleast it would probably make a good movie. Imagine Bill strapped to a chair being drugged and interrogated. Hypnotizing him "You WANT to work with us" then he bites the guys nose off... well, maybe it's been done before. Anyway, no evidence, but that's what conspiracy theories are, aren't they?
