wouldn't call it a hatred, more like the natural way you would expect a free market capitalist corporation to work (doesn't mean it doesn't suck, just the way things are unfortunately).

The British call it blackmail, but it's standard business practice in the US...
It is the American way. Actually it is the way of big business and rich people and those with "influence" and family connections. And do not forget simple bribery to get government contracts. It happens everywhere.
It is also the way of bloggers to throw their hands up in the air and cry: "Panic! The Martians have landed!"
It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.

This particular version of blackmail works beautifully in the various congressional districts. It's typical of hardball US business/political tactics. I don't think you find this particular brand of corruption in other countries (though naturally MS is trying it out in England). So: No, it doesn't happen everywhere. Corruption takes other forms in other countries and political systems.

Is anyone interested in what microsoft does anymore?
We live in a world of proprietary devices/software; why does Microsoft continuously rise to the level of blind hatred above all other manufacturers of proprietary products on Linux forums?
