Dear Puneet Lakhina,
AFAIC, M$ has no morals or ethics. They lie, cheat, steal, rip-off people etc... But I think they are the biggest reasons why GNU/Linux has progressed so far. The FSF wasn't popular before the Linux kernel came around. Once the Linux kernel came around they had a full fledged OS that could probably rival M$ Winbloze. After 5-10 years of development IMHO GNU/Linux has progressed far enough to call it a desktop OS. The only point where it lacks is drivers. But then again why has it progressed? Me thinks its because of Winbloze.
What can I say? It's human nature. Even M$ didnt release Win XP till Macs were well ahead of winbloze. Though, winbloze users paid huge $$ to M$ they didn't get returns. Atleast perceiving the Linux & Mac threat M$ is improving its products!
So to make a long story short, don't discuss M$'s morals or ethics since they don't have any! No use discussing something that doesn't exist ;)
Regards, Dinesh
