Jazz, you're just embarrassing yourself

>>This harkens back to the days when SACD adopters were ridiculed for what amounts to chosing the better format.<<

Really? Show me where I've done that. I don't really care which format you prefer. Neither format looks better to me at this point. But you are now attempting to play the martyr by claiming I'm persecuting you for your format choice, which makes you appear even more silly.

>>And you are essentially attacking the idea that Microsoft uses predatory strategies. I don't think anyone sane would dispute that.<<

Really? Early yesterday, I posted in this thread, "...There's no doubt that Microsoft has engaged in some overly aggressive business practices..."

So, Jazz - tell me how that statement squares with your claim? In order for you to be right, I couldn't possibly have said anything like that. Again, you are making yourself look silly.

>>Your only salient point is that it could have been Toshiba, not Microsoft, that bought off Paramount with $150,000,000. <<

Well, since I never said that ANYONE "bought off" Paramount, your claim is again completely off-base.

Jazz, you are making yourself look foolish. You really ought to stop now before you dig yourself deeper into the hole.
