joe92 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hang on. All of these 'subsidiaries' are countries. Are you trying to say Microsoft owns countries like China, Russia, United Kingdom, United States, Germany etc.? Microsoft is an evil company yes (see my signature), but come on now. And I've noticed France is in that list, but they are the leading country in the open source fight and in fact got rid of all Microsoft products a few years ago.

joe92 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Lol, this got me intrigued so I investigated further. Here is an actual list of companies that Microsoft owns or has merged with or has a stake in (no countries that I can see): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Microsoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Facebook really needs the money is it. [oops, quoted instead of modifying] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
