If you think you can direct the development of human behaviour by not 
buying a Microsoft product, be my guest. I rather waste my time on other 
things. I think your "this will never change" is wrong, but it certainly 
will not change in my lifetime, and I doubt if this kind of human behaviour 
is going to change in many centuries to come.
