The Libertarian in me

"Obviously, Microsoft coming up with Reduced Media Edition was their very arrogant slap in the face of the EU," said naming consultant Laurel Sutton. "They were specifically requested to come up with something that didn't sound inferior."

The libertarian in me thinks that Microsoft should respond to the Euro weenie's name fetish by pulling all copies and all support for Microsoft products for six months. Of course the threat would have more force if MS made better software, but you get the point. For those interested, Reason magazine has a look at Ayn Rand on what would have been her 100th birthday, February second of this year.
