Anyway what I am saying is that sometimes there is a public interest that supercedes normal property rights. And even before seeking to nullify Microsoft's interest of any of their products. My argument is for the opening of the specification to older windows 'operating systems' to public inspection for the common good. I do not accept Microsoft's services. I want my own software.
Computers are vital to commerce.
Microsoft's crap is vital to computers, and there is no real alternative due to their domination of the market. Which means DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11. That is the power to say NO to restrictive product licencing. Microsoft eventually crushed, destroyed, or superceded all these competitors. That's now history.
