To go on a political tagent.  Communism has nothing to do with
dictatorship, we just like to relate the two, because that is the only way
we have seen 'communism' in action.

True communism is a system characterized by the collective ownership of
property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all
members. Under this definition Microsoft hardly fits the definition.

Microsoft is truly totalitarian in that impose a form of life in which
they exercise absolute and centralized control over all aspects of life,
and  individual is subordinated to them, any opposing expression is
suppressed.
