I defy you to prove with documentation that Microsoft committed fraud and that Bill Gates is a fraud.
There's tons over there. Just to name one, on the top of my mind, I remember in the old days of Windows 3.1 for Microsoft DOS they were sued by another software company who made their own DOS, that Windows had a hidden code so it won't install in their version of DOS, but not because they were not compatible, but because the program actually was designed to install only after checking it was Microsoft DOS and not other version the one in the PC.
Also, it is pretty known the fact, that actually Bill Gates didn't actually developed DOS, but bought it cheaply to another programmer and later sold it for millions to IBM. Also he robbed Windows ideas from Apple Mac. Just search the web, there's tons of evidence about that.edit on 23-4-2011 by bruji76 because: (no reason given)

No, YOU made the claim. Back it up.
I've heard all the rumors and BS for decades and have YET to see someone come up with any proof.
By the way, if YOU sell the rights to a piece of property to another person that person is entitled to do what he wants with that property as you no longer hold those rights.

What, in nature, is the worst sort of creature? Is it "the rich"?
Maybe some of the rich could qualify.
But, to me, it doesn't matter how "rich" you are. Rich doesn't mean evil, or "worthless".
To me, the worst creatures are worthless creatures. In nature, worthless creatures die...unless they are human.
What separates the human? Sure, the human takes care of their young, but this happens in the animal kingdom also. To a point. But, in the animal kingdom, the worthless still die after the mommy and daddy animal get on with their lives.
But, in the exclusively human reality, we seem quite content empowering the worthless. We are spoon fed many reasons for allowing money to flow into worthless hands. If we happen to be white, well, just shut up and pay, okay? Oh, and just in case you misunderstand me because you have political correctness glasses on, white people can be worthless too.
The point is this. Any ideology that furthers the interest of worthless people, people who contribute nothing to society but raw manure, is not an ideology that will ever benefit any society. If anyone wants to know what is happening to our society, just look at the politically correct ideology that is in place. Look at who promotes it. Look at who seems quite content with it.
Then, look at the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY people, the common people, not the talking heads. Make up your own mind.

So a lawsuit that was settled is reason to believe that everything microsoft has done is fraud...Yeah ok. Try harder.
Secondly, if you SELL property it is NO LONGER your property.
That's reality. Deal with it.

That's where you're going wrong.
You think Capitalism is a social system. It's an economic system. And the only one that takes human greed and everything else into account.
The whole point of American society is to have a government that protects the rights of people without violating the natural rights of people.
You can be greedy all you want, but the second you start committing fraud you are violating others rights.
Greed, AGAIN, is NOT a product of capitalism, it is a product of being human. What about this do you not understand?
The US Constitution and capitalism is not about doing away with failure, which again, is part of the human condition. A part of nature you can't create a system to counter.edit on 23-4-2011 by projectvxn because: (no reason given)
What kind of stuff would you consider a "proof"?
Randians are always saying rich people is the creative one. So tell me, how is coining the real creator of an idea, and taking the credit and profit for it a creative act? The one who actually created the wealth got coined by a few bucks, and the one who only had the right contacts, but did not a creative thing on its own at all, gets all the benefit.

Find me court documents and and other investigative reports with actual red haded proof that everything MS has done is fraud.

Decisions are made all the time. If I sell a gold coin to someone at current market value and the next day it goes up by 300 bucks I can't go to this person and say "pay me the additional 300 bucks". Why? Because I sold it to him at a certain price, as per the terms of the sale. The value gained by that ounce of gold is now HIS value because HE made the investment.
My loss of that value is MY FAULT because I took the risk.edit on 23-4-2011 by projectvxn because: (no reason given)
