I've already quit using Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. Now I'm taking a look at switching my operating system to Linux. If that doesn't work out, my next computer will be a Mac. Doing my very best to get away from Microsoft.

I respect the effort, but that is futile. Microsoft will never feel any pain from a boycott. The best thing to do is to try to influence them to not support the HSUS. Flood them with emails about unsavory acts the HSUS does.

We can't hope to try to fight Microsoft so we have to go after HSUS. That's the real enemy anyway.

At least I haven't heard anything about the hippies funneling cash into HSUS. At least, not yet.[:-] And they aren't so big they can't avoid being hurt by a boycott and might be a bit more amenable to being influenced. Ya think?

I just switched to imac this year. I'll never go back to pc's.

Microsoft's position doesn't surprise me.

Try to imagine Bill Gates in camo or holding a weapon. Can't do it? Me either.

Hunter were the first conservationists and still today hunters are on the front lines fighting most of the battles for wildlife and habitat.
we need to each do our part in letting microsoft know that they should not sponser eco-terorists

What amazes me is you hear about stuff like this and you have the Hunters Feeding the Hungry program and others that help remove starving deer from areas where the urban sprawl has reduced food or the lack of hunting or natural predators has been removed and the meat is given to the hungry.

They always seem to justify that as removing starving deer or the fact that the food is donated. Or, that it's culling the heard. Forgetting the fact that if hunting was allowed in that area in the first place the deer population would not be out of control.

Maryland allows unlimited does in many counties but in most of the most densely deer populated areas it's no hunting allowed.
