Star Why Microsoft and Intel Tried to Kill the XO Laptop

Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y "Microsoft, makers of most of the computer software in the world, tried to kill it with words, and Intel, maker of most computer chips, tried to kill it with dirty tricks. Of course, they don't admit to being attempted murderers. And when I introduce you to Intel's lovely spokesperson, Agnes Kwan, you'll realise how far their denials go. But the truth is the two mightiest high-tech companies in the world looked on Negroponte's philanthropic scheme and decided it had to die."

For me, Microsoft is a company which does about 100 times more evil, than it does good.


Evil? Dude, if you think that a SOFTWARE company rises to the level of EVIL -- murder, rape, torture, etc -- you have your head up your own ass. Or someone else's.
