What Microsoft has been doing doesn't pass the consumer welfare test. by blackwater 06/15/2024, 5:54pm PDT I think it's sad the lengths people will go to to avoid admitting their own failures. People will blame an evil spell cast by Calvin Coolidge before they will consider that putting an idiot in charge of the FTC who doesn't know the difference between a computer mouse and a sex toy might, just might, be a bad idea. Blaming G. W. Bush is actually reasonable here since without him, Microsoft might have been broken up. But that was 23 years ago. And now they're doing exactly the same shit that got them in trouble in the 1990s and nobody seems to care. At some point, you can't blame a president who's been out of power for decades.
