Yup, totally agree. Not to mention the pain & suffering of pronouncing someone a criminal if not paying and wanting to open or use old projects.
All in the best interest of the evolving system - staying dependent, therefore economically stable, predictable and under control (by the principles of the old). It is of no interest to have pillars of society fracturing, falling down and balancing in equality. Keeping the civilization, thus super empire strive, hierarchy of order running well and swell... god forbid if going FLOSS. Though i use their 'free 360' services, yet with caution.
So, until death do us part.
What to do?
Love us, for what have we done.
Love it, for what has become...
... a challenge to seek alternative ways. Intelligence evolving.
In joy
Personally am more stressed over a new law enforcing certified cash registers... meh, all this new crap to support the idiocracy of bureaucracy :p
