well, the biggest question is did one dictator? for lack of a better word, get replaced by another. Now WDP saw the nazi avatars and hate heaped on SP...but, that would NOT change my mind in their shoes, business is business and WDP at least knows what the definition of marketing is.
My problem is this, I have pretty different views on what an invention is and what half of the patents issued are... meaning there is a lot of BS out there, but by allowing BS patents, that fuels the lawyer economy. Fact. So, had WDP fought to disprove the validity of the patents rather than just snake ownership we would be in a lot different place.
