I'm sorry man but Jetta has been in business way longer than MSI. They probably sell on a par, level with Dell. The facility has the ability to produce 500+ notebooks in a month. Most wall street companies are like fake rich people, they pretend to have more money, but they really don't. For example, Newegg hasn't gone public yet because they don't have any money. They went bankrupt 5 times and where bought out 6 times, they are now owned by D&H the largest distribution company in the states. Unfortunately, Newegg doesn't only hurt the other businesses that are affected by their sales, they take advantage of chapter 11 frequently, much like Donald Trumph. Donald Trumph is just as anyway. Eventually it's traced back to rich corrupt parents, and large million dollar funds to fall back on. these corporate companies that control our world, and the politics and BS surrounding it pissed me off. So I decided to do it myself, although I don't get much respect, I do it for me. Chapter 11 was specifically designed for companies that affect everyday life in America, such as Delta, or an airline company, to help when natural disaster occurs, much like 9/11. Delta is recovering from Chapter 11. However when companies like Newegg, or rich snots like Donald Trumph do this, someone needs to add an amendment, it does nothing but drain the economy in logic. Fortunately, we are the United States and EVERY country owes us money. The only way for other countries to get out of debt is by borrowing money from us. heh. it doesn't seem fair to me, but I'm just stating information, not giving an opinion.
Best part about being a true company is the ability to do what you are doing odin, researching. For example, Discover Credit Card Services, has Discover LLC. This is just where the real money is. The incorporation is just the marketing to steal your money. Corporate politics are disgusting, but once I got in deep, I could either fight it or blend it, I chose to fight it instead. Logically, it all boils down to how educated you are on law, and paper pushing. Seeing that I wasn't a rich daddys boy, it only seems fair to do what is owed logically, instead of being evil, or worse, evil in denial. Bill Gates was a multi millionaire before he was even conceived.
So Why is Microsoft still in business?
Obviously, it’s not for its security model. Redmond has only recently begun to pay more than lip-service to its efforts at securing its operating system by including firewall software with recent service packs for XP (although it’s still turned off by default). See if some of the following names mean anything to you: Melissa, Blaster, Nimda, Slammer, NetSky and Bagle? Sound familiar? These virii have mostly been propagated throughout the net by Windows installations that should have been patched by Microsoft before the operating system shipped. Instead, Redmond ships insecure systems and admonishes users to frequently update their machines via Windows Update, a mechanisim whereby they can shove their unwanted DRM project down the throats of inattentive users.
Continued Windows use isn’t due to Microsoft’s innovative software either. Most of the software that Microsoft has “produced” itself was either bought or stolen from other companies. MS-DOS, which built the MS empire, wasn’t even written by Gates. He bought the rights to QDOS from Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products for $50,000 without disclosing the fact that he was intending to license the product to IBM for several times that amount.
The majority of software Windows users can’t live without aren’t even produced by Microsoft. Barring its Office suite, the three “must-have” pieces of software for Windows users, Photoshop, Flash and Quicken, are produced by Adobe, Macromedia and Intuit, respectively. Various other third-party software vendors (Roxio, MusicMatch, Nullsoft, etc.) that haven’t gotten around to (and/or refuse to) port their software, round out the list.
So, if people aren’t using Windows for its secure, innovative, in-house produced software, why are they sticking around? A monopoly can’t stay a monopoly if it doesn’t continue to generate revenue, why do users continue to pay money to a company that produces, at best, mediocre software? The answer is obvious, once you’ve read it…
Microsoft products don’t make their customers feel stupid.
Much like “outcome-based education”, Microsoft has engineered it’s software for the bottom denominator, the most dense user imaginable. A first-time Windows user can reasonably feel their way around their computer and accomplish basic computing tasks–browsing the ‘net, sending email, listening to music, etc. When they’re stumped, “Windows Help” does a fairly good job of helping. Every setting and resource has a GUI users can click through until they stumble across the correct setting. Tech support for Windows comes in, primarily, with two options–reboot or reinstall. When problems arise that the tech support can’t handle, Redmond has done a superb job of placating the users with the phrase, “it’ll be fixed in the next release”.
There are several other examples of Microsoft’s “innovation”.
Close Combat-Popular game purchased from Atomic Games
Flight Simulator-Purchased from the Bruce Artwick Organisation
Age of Empires-Collabaration with Ensemble studios(Gopal R S)
FrontPage-Microsoft’s HTML editor was purchased from Vermeer Technologies in 1996
FoxPro-This database application came along with Microsoft’s purchase of Fox Software in 1986
Internet Explorer-Desperate to play catch-up in the fast-moving Internet world Microsoft licensed code from Spyglass Inc one of the two licensees of the original Mosaic code base in 1995 and called it MSIE Microsoft then proceeded to distribute MSIE for free denying Spyglass substantial royalties for their key contribution to the product
MS-DOS-The original Microsoft cash cow, this CP/M clone, then called Q-DOS, was purchased from the Seattle Computer company in 1981. Microsoft then proceeded to thwart Seattle Computer’s license rights to the product. The tiny company sued Microsoft and prevailed in court.
Object Linking Environment (OLE)-Microsoft settled a suit with Wang Labs over patent infringement code portions of OLE which is also the heart of Microsoft’s ActiveX
PowerPoint-This presentation software package was renamed and re-branded after Microsoft’s purchase of Forethought Inc in 1987
SQL Server-This important database product is based on code purchased from Sybase in 1988
Visual Basic-Ruby, the foundation for Microsoft’s highly important Visual Basic product, was purchased from Cooper Software in 1991
Visual C-Microsoft purchased the Lattice C code compiler which became Visual C, Microsoft’s software development environment
Visual SourceSafe-Purchased from OneTree Software. Shortly after OneTree’s SourceSafe was released, Microsoft preannounced a similar application called Microsoft Delta which failed to sell. Microsoft then purchased OneTree and renamed SourceSafe as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe.
Windows-Technologies used in Windows multitasking came to Microsoft with their purchase of Dynamical Systems in 1986. Portions of the interface were licensed from Apple Computer, also in 1986
XENIX-Microsoft’s version of Unix was actually written under contract by the Santa Cruz Operation(SCO)
Bill gates has been known to throw tantrums, and frequently sleeps with Michael Dell, and other corporate Nazis.
I'm sorry I cannot stand in the way while these corporate giants steal and buy large bull dozer's with daddy's trust funds.
Michael Dell was a great man no doubt, but he gave in to easily.
Now seeing that I hate political corrupt bull****, the only way for me to change this crap is to control %75 of the computer market and force Microsoft out of business. I sell windows, but I don't buddy buddy with them. After it's said and done, I can hire 146 representatives into the house of reps and kick the liars out.
I'll probably die trying, at the age of 37 from a heart attack or better yet a nuclear blast, but at least I can live with myself everyday until then.
- Pride Before Profit.
That's him today, but according to his postings over seven years ago he was 37, making him 43+ now. I think I nailed the titled of this thread, eh?
