What does it actually mean that Microsoft has been "bad"? >>

Both Google and Microsoft (and others) have a huge appetite for others
intellectual property and neither seems to have a problem with  
brutalizing
and bankrupting the owners of intellectual property to improve their  
bottom
line.  Microsoft has a rather long history of pirating others  
intellectual
property.  Google's history is shorter but they seem to me to be on  
the same
path.

Both have a legislative agenda to tip the balance of the patent  
system in
favor of vested interests like themselves.  This will be at the  
expense of
individual inventors and their small companies who are and always  
have been
the source  of the bulk of breakthrough inventions.

I will try to get time to publish a list of companies who are members  
of the
Coalition for Patent Fairness, aka. The Coalition for Patent Piracy.   
The
Coalition's idea of "fair" is being able to take others property for
virtually nothing.
