Comment Re:Gov't should leave MS alone (Score 1) 605
Ermf. The problem with this comment about "voting with their dollars" is something I see repeated time and time again in govt and business (here in Australia, anyway): M$ is bought by aquisitions people because they don't know anything else exists any more.
That is an important point - to them, there is no competition. M$ sales 'hit teams' get to them and tell them that M$ is the only way - and then they tell the other aquisitions people, and M$ has it's hold in. There are also known graft-takers (one boasted of it in my presence) who avoid telling people about anything but M$.
Where's the free 'voting with dollars' in that?
