It's thievery and arrogance I tell you.
Microsoft invents new words for common words. General Motors calls nuts and bolts nuts and bolts, but haven't you noticed that Microsoft never uses ordinary terms?
Microsoft doesn't seem to invent or offer only its own privately developed ideas as many firms. It merely looks around for inventions and ideas and packages them under its own terms and with new terms of description.
Who pays for this practice? Its newly invented words cost us billions of dollars to acquire and learn.
Microsoft has been taking terminology and words from our labs and offices for years and years. Microsoft writers "re-document" our words. Our definitions and our meanings remain the same, but Microsoft pressures us to make our words change. We use Microsoft's words to describe our ideas. Too often.
It seems to most people that we must use Microsoft's new words. Less often we use our words to teach ourselves, but more often we license and use what Microsoft tells us to use.
Microsoft alters our words for ideas and inventions. Microsoft knows it. Its new words mean what they did when we used our own words. But its new words are private property.
Want an example? The term shortcuts for the word links. And many, many more.
Microsoft's private property. Which it copyrights.... Writes off at our expense.... And sells back to us.... Which it prints into every document. Which it delivers all over the world to convince every teacher, university and trainer to convert. Then it sells it back to us -- our ideas, understandings and inventions and the words we use to describe ideas, understandings and inventions.
We give the copyright. We provide the compensation and the incentives. Microsoft can barely lay a justified claim to any of this. We're being bilked.
Arrogant, I tell you. Just why would Microsft confuse every student, teacher, every scientist, technologist and computer user -- every global person -- by forcing its private and copyrighted terminology down our throats?
Microsoft frauduently claims property it cannot own. Words and ideas have often been misappropriated, stolen, and intentionally re-shaped in order to promote the use of Microsoft's newly created terms.
Microsoft is arrogant. Microsoft has a belly of lousy minds, a school of aggressive diligence, a mania of myopia and me-ism. Microsoft policymakers must be groups of swarthy savants that climb all over themselves to commandeer our public sphere.
We could easily use the word 'links'. Conscientious persons all could see that the term is a foundation term of our language to define the internet. Anyone could see that the populations of the world rely on the idea, understanding and the word 'links'. But Microsoft cannot slow its habits. It reached out and made effort to steal a use of a word and to substitute its own property into our langauge.
Out from under clouds of fraud, forcefulness and treachery... and, without the unwitting assistance of the complacent and toothless halfwits that run our agencies and nation, Microsoft should be required to become a positive social member and corporate citizen.
Were Congress to ask (another story) what is the horrid cost and effect when a party such as Microsoft with its incessently subjectively incorporate crew conspires and arranges to take public property... and to use that usurping... to make extensive claims of property... and to propel the costs of these false acquisitions... again and again upon the people... and after pilfering our language, its convenant and its sovereignty, causes the public to lose value, utility and to, of all things, lose the inalienable right to foster and preserve its language, then it has taken rights allowed only to all and never to one....
With a terrific recklessness Congress is unable to govern the issues of copyright while it provides too many rights too easily to those who march its hallways instead of those who pay for the parade.
Would an analysis show that Microsoft's market position is as much in the control of its 'terms' as it is in code? Microsoft is a tyranny so puffed in manufacturing 'terms' ( the documents and rules and voice of a company and corporation ) taken and altered from the raw material of the public discourse, that it has crossed the line in the realm of crime. Microsoft has sytematically conspired to steal and has stolen from and converted out of our practical and ancient and 'sovereign' public language.
It seems even the words of the law are vulnerable to Microsoft's interpretations. Until the wit and oratory of a properly courageous attorney can describe that Microsoft is engaging in a form of post-modern thievery that can only be called "socio-industrial crime", then we lose.
We let a private party define a public resource.
Microsoft invents words and seeks to have us then replace words already in use, often in broad far reaching use. Microsoft has taken everyday and useful language to describe events and processes in the marketplace and in our forum. It has taken both idea and word.
It has gathered our sovereign resource as its own. It has asked us to copyright and protect these thefts. It has made our very ideas, understandings and descriptions become contraband controlled and extorted by Microsoft. It has asked us to refund its fees and taxes as it deliberately and fraudulantly makes additional claims and demands by hoisting unjust costs for property it has no right to own.
Its products and works come with high fees, cruel margins, and dangerous consequences. Microsoft has built a hardship upon education, management, operations, policy and leadership throughout the world. This extreme behavior for a corporate citizen is indictable.
An operating system. An operating system. We want an operating system. A system, a legal system, a governmental system, a public system that operates.
Let's not let Microsoft take the operating out of our system.
