Who says those tools don't work

Cheating still works, Microsoft has started to stumble, but it's not because
cheating doesn't work anymore. It's because they were late to the new field to
cheat in. It's pretty clear they are still trying to cheat though, and doing a
pretty good job of it. Wasn't there some figure floating around that they are
making more money off of android then windows now?

Also, no matter how much you cheat. If you scare all your customers away with
scary new (and bad) interfaces, you lost all your customers.

Cheating works, to a point....

and always has, and always will. Smart shrinks agree on this point:

Misinformation.pdf

But then the cheating starts to get out of hand and be too much for everyone,
and social controls kick in. We americans *do* have this self-image of honesty
to uphold, after all, and if you think it isn't real, ask yourself why Barak
Obama was able to win the presidency.

There is also the problem that the architect of the cheating, Mr Gates, is not
immortal...and the fact that the one constant of the computer industry is
change....think about that miracle (a phone/computer) sitting in your pocket!
