        <description><![CDATA[Many of those complain the loudest about Microsoft in the computer industry (Apple, Sun, Oracle, for instance), aren't really complaining about what Microsoft does, they are complaining because Microsoft does so much better than they can.  In other words, somewhere between admiration and outright jealousy!!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Two things are coming to mind with this kind of thing.First, once a person purchases a software user license, remotely disabling the software without returning the money, or alerting the person who bought the software that it is being disabled so the program can be replaced with a comparable program, is theft. What if Chevrolet  had a problem with your mother in law and every time she got in the car they would use On Star to disable it in an unsafe neighborhood? Second, I find it rather childish to allow a program to be put up for sale, then pull it down later just so you can &quot;clean up&quot; your image. Last time I checked Steve Jobs was a man, so the women's right to change her mind, doesn't fly in this case.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It would be pretty hard to say who is more evil as they have somewhat different situations and thus different expressions of malice.  Big difference is that Apple owns the hardware platform, where M$ never did. So where Apple's evilness was biased towards developers &amp; users, M$ has been more focused on competitors &amp; perceived outside threats.As a species we have managed to become fairly civilized, except in the area of business &amp; commerce, where the &quot;law of the jungle&quot; mentality prevails.  We certainly have a long way to go in this respect.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I find it funny...people think Apple is &quot;being evil&quot; by making sure they can kill off apps remotely.But, Microsoft doesn't do this and viruses, pirating of their OS, etc., runs rampant.I think if Apple has no legitimate grounds for interrupting service, they can indeed be held liable no matter what the licensing says.  Especially if their exercising the &quot;kill switch&quot; means a company loses money or is done irreparable harm.]]></description>
