Wow... lay off the crack.

I must admit I didn't quite follow the entirety of your drooling rant, but I feel I should clear up a couple of your baseless accusations.

First, it's perfectly legal for MS to use BSD socket code, and they even complied with the advertising clause, crediting the Regents of the University of California as they were required. You don't need to capture packets to know that. And consider this: had Microsoft *not* used the BSD socket library, where do you think computer networking would be today? Take a look at this essay.

Second, of *course* they try to make their competitors look bad. It's not like that's something only MS has ever done. Take a look at some Apple commercials: "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC." In fact, try watching commercials for just about any product. There's usually two themes in play: make their product look desirable, and make competing products look undesirable. It's certainly not something unique to Microsoft.
