The Shadow Tales of Microsoft
If there's one thing to be said for Microsoft, it's a shrewd player. They've done in just a few years what takes some companies decades to do. They've cornered the desktop OS market. All of this success has caused some of their detractors to call them dishonest, unethical, and in some cases just downright evil.
All of this has come from their efforts to make a few bucks. Well, a few billion in their case. But as of late, Microsoft has gone an extra step further in expanding and maintaining, or in some cases grabbing dominance in every market they can get into, if they aren't there already. They're like a mutant squid with their thousand tentacles reaching out into nearly everything they can touch. But that's not the best part. They now appear to have gone and done something that would make any Washington politician proud. They're playing end around politics. What is end around politics? Well, let me explain.
End around politics is a term used when a person, group or political party, create a ruckus in one place to distract everyone from what they're really doing. Especially if it's something they don't want you to see or know about. You can think of it as a slight of hand, politician style. Now for some who have seen some of my recent work, you might realize that I've pretty much given up talking about Microsoft.
