And being annoyed is going to do what?
Seriously - if they're that ticked off about it, how about they get together with a group of their own uber-genius friends and start up their own computer software company that later diversifies into hardware and other things, and become rich on their own while doing so.
If not - then how about just get over it. Life isn't fair, and while complaining about how someone else does something you disapprove of that you actually have very little effect upon may make you feel better, all it really does is make the world in general a little bit sadder. If you CAN affect someone or something for a positive change, then feel free to do so - then you're not just sitting in a corner and complaining, you're actually DOING something.
In other words, I have no sympathy for people whining simply because they can - if you want to stop Microsoft from getting money from this deal, don't whine on these forums. Get off your dead ass and actually attempt to accomplish something about it. You may not succeed in what you're doing - and that's fine, failure IS always an option - but at least you actually tried. And by that I mean more than making another post on another forum - that's not trying, that's just pathetic.
Note this also works in real life - think about it. If Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Michael Dell had just decided - meh, I'll just whine about how things are but not actually try to do anything about it, think about where we'd be now. (I simply picked 3 people at random that have accomplished things that aren't mediocrity at it's finest, there's many others, of course.)
