If you will not show me the respect to do this much, then I will not continue to engage in this conversation. You don't deserve a proper reply if you can't offer me that much.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend you. But your reasons for bashing Microsoft (and it is bashing) appear to demonstrate a poor understanding of the markets they compete in. If being blunt offends you to the point that you won't stay engaged in the discussion, so be it. But that would only confirm my suspicion, in my mind anyway, that you are indeed using emotion and assumptions to support your opinion. If you would like to re-engage and clarify your opinion, I will welcome it.
Edit...In regards to your thesis, I understand what you are saying, however to remove the context of the market they play in essentially invalidates the purpose of posting it in the first place. They support their products well in relation to their market. I could apply your thesis about corporate culture to just about any company in existance today. So if you don't want to discuss why your examples are flawed, there is nothing left to discuss.
