The left and other America-haters hate the USA for the same reason as why people hate Microsoft.

Don't be an ass. MicroSoft is a business. It's objectives are far different than a governments and thus, gets judged differently.
The US tolerates opinion and encourages freedom.
MicroSoft's behavior is anything but tolerant.
A very stupid analogy. One that ignores the basis of our political system and the principles of FREE Market economics.

Microsoft is God's gift to America and anything that's good for them is good for the United States. Amen.

Microsoft COMPETES, and does it well, and that is called free market economics buddy!

Microsoft's job is not to be "tolerant" and give their competitors a break. Sun Micrososystems would love to see Microsoft be "tolerant" and "sensitive"..

Their competitors can't stand Microsoft's success and continuously try to win market share in the courts.
