Microsoft Bailout

Recommended Posts

Microsoft requested on Tuesday some $20 billion in bailout funds from the federal government, claiming that as the company controls an overwhelming share of the OS market, it is too big to fail.

Open source software is available. Linux. Open Office is free and compatible with Microsoft Office. You see more linux laptops hitting the market because of the lower price point.

The only problem is, if Microsoft goes under, who is going to support their existing products?

Every company wants a bailout now, but if they get one, we'll be on this hole for a hell of a lot longer.

I think I've found a way for you and I to finally fly free.
When we get there, we're gonna fly so far away.
Making sure to laugh; while we experience anti-gravity.
