So i was reading a post on some news article on the home page and one of the DSLR members has his/her blog as signature so i clicked on it and when i got to the bottom of the page i saw the ad on the pictures and i thought WTF...

Terrorist is being used very loosely now days...

The truth is out now... Not to get on some random rant, but I really don't get their reasoning on trying to kill everyone especially since they love to use commodities that are made and designed by the same people they try and kill.

Well then. I'm a terrorist, and so is Microsoft:

It is impossible for a company the size of Microsoft to arrange its business affairs that somewhere, within the traditional six degrees of separations, there won't be any use of competitive products.

That article is from 2001 - isn't that kinda a stretch?

Doesn't matter. There were no semantics argued. A blanket statement allows no use of such criteria of neither "time" nor "business associates" which might be contradictory to the current heart of the matter.

This is fake: somebody made up this clever little image, is hosting it himself, but clicking the link goes to Microsoft.

No, just playing along with blanket statements. I wouldn't put it past some of my customers to REALLY believe things like that, with the official looking Windows marquis etc... Like I said earlier, it never ceases to make me laugh. From my experience, Windows, Linux, Apple etc... depend on each other just as much as they depend on being a separate from each other. Look at the front offices in Redmond. They are all running brand new Macs with Windows installed on them

I say report them to Microsoft for the use of the graphics and then see what happens. If MS goes after them then we can somewhat believe that they do not agree. If MS does not go after them, then we know what MS really thinks.

That they've got better things to do than go chasing after web sites that no-one with two brain cells takes seriously?
