Why piss of the majority of your customer to get at someone who's not even a potential client?

Because you've become a bureaucratic behemoth that can no longer see the big picture? Or because your business decisions are made by legions of accountants and lawyers, not the engineering, entrepreneurial and philosophical types that originally made your product famous? I'm just guessing here.

Naw, not so fast . . . I honestly think MS does pretty well considering how huge they are. I use *some* of their software every day without a lot of problems.
