This was all over the news a while ago in the USA. Bill Gates was working for
IBM when he created Windows. He then stole that program (which would be the
propertey of IBM because they paid him to make it) and founded his own company.
Eventually Gates wound up paying like 50 million to IBM for stealing Windows.
My point was that Microsoft was founded by illegal activities. The notion
that they don't engage in illegal practices seems rather laughable to me.
