*deleted phrase here* Just because you don't like a company's product doesn't make it evil. It has to actually do EVIL things for it to be EVIL. Ever think that microsoft makes a lot of money because their products are insanely popular? No? Well, get out.

QUOTE Redmond, WA - Microsoft purchased evil from Satan for $2.7 billion after many months of tough negotiations. "We've been after Satan for some time," said CEO Steve Ballmer. "Negotiations were tough, but I think both Microsoft and the Prince of Darkness are happy with this deal." Microsoft already controls 15% of the evil market, and with this purchase that number nears 100%. The Department of Justice voiced concerns over one corporation controlling so much evil, and launched investigations. "We feel that there are real opportunities with evil, and that when evil is integrated into our next generation of Windows products consumers will appreciate evil on their desktop," said Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. "Businesses haven't been able to fully realize their evil potential. With evil integrated into Office XP, corporations big and small will begin to see enhanced evil productivity." "Evil is a real growing market," market strategist Frank Dresgan of Merrill Lynch explained. "Microsoft is a little late in the game, but even when they enter a market late they still tend to dominate. I think we'll see the same results with evil." "I've been dealing with Microsoft for some time," Lucifer said. "I've been at this evil thing for millions of years, and wanted a way out. I considered an IPO, but then Steve-O and Billy came along and told me about their 'Evil Everywhere' plan. I just couldn't refuse." Evil was founded by Satan close to the beginning of time. It has been growing steadily ever since, although most of the growth has accelerated in the past five years with the development of the Internet. Satan plans to retire to a small island in the Bahamas and write a column for the local newspaper. |

HALLIBURTON my friends. Also Monsato which led to farmer's suicides in India and DOW Chemical are the worst. Microsoft may be evil in software sense of the term but it does not kill people and destroy lives. The companies I mentioned do that very very willingly. As for pharmaceutical companies, they are emerging as frontrunners for the title with their refusal to reduce the costs of lifesaving drugs and trying to profit from them at the cost of lives of millions in third world countries. They even won't allow others to manufacture them at a cheaper cost. How sick is that?

QUOTE 2) They stole GUI from Apple Not to mention Apple stole the GUI from XEROX PARC...and then started to sue every Tom, *BLEEP*, and Harry that made a GUI after them... Every corporation is evil. The goal is simply to make money, and all corporations cut corners and try to screw their customers. Microsoft sells substandard products through Joseph McCarthy style FUD, Apple sells DRMed products, Oil companies sell knowingly destructive fossil fuels, Tobbacco companies sell a substance with no benefit to humans, they're all equally evil and manipulative. |

QUOTE Every corporation is evil. The goal is simply to make money, So are you saying that capitalism is - dare I say - a necessary evil? @anarchy: Now THAT's a news article worthy of mention. *applause* QUOTE Just because you don't like a company's product doesn't make it evil. Evil is a very vaguely defined term shaped by one's prejudices and opportunity in context. Who knows? For some people, Mother Teresa might have been considered evil because she advocated helping those with less - even though they'll be suffering for all of their lives. Besides, we are talking about superlatives here. We can't ALL agree on one thing as 'evil'. I have a three-way tie. Exxon-Mobil for leading the leeching of the economic power of nearly every first-world country and reducing the living standards of the world. Haliburton... for supplying and giving impetus to the local superpower of the world to go destroy the livelihood and security of millions of innocent people. And of course Monsato for reasons already mentioned above. |

Xerox had nothing to do with making GUI.... do you not even know what gui is? xerox GAVE (important keyword-- not stole) the COMPUTER (important keyword-- not gui) to apple. From there apple came up with gui, which ms stole from apple because all they had was DOS... |

The Most Evil Corporation would have to be Microsoft. They'll do anything to make a buck. They'll rip off the average hard working middle class American just to get a head. I think it's wrong what they do. They make so much money and then people starve on the streets of America. They are the closest thing to a Monopoly as it gets.
If I could add another one it would be Exxon Mobile. They rip off everyone. The Gas Prices are outragous and they just reported their highest earnings ever. It's not fair. Take Advangtage of the American just because they can. Oil is an essential Resource and they control 90% of the market. It's Ridiculous how much power these companys have. |
