 From the very beginning, Microslop was a corrupt, anti-competitive

Their whole anti-competitive strategy was to quash their superior

  I think those Capones even killed the developer of what they copied their DOS from. The Capones were afraid he'll one day, this time successfully, sue them when court of law will get better adjusted to new tech realities.
 But, when there are Capones around you, and yes they're all around you, you can begin outsmarting them. Capones feed on the Sheep. If you're not Sheep, you can outsmart them cause a "Capone" by definition has funny weak points too. Weak points that healthy human beings don't have.
 

And that's, ... Begin with not buying their products but at the same time using them! Never buy them new, and never pay for them more than in pennies.
Do the same with cars :)
And computers, of course.
And food!
Oh, all sorts of Capones.
Even choose the gas station that does not sell gas belonging to Capones you dislike. There are gas stations whose owners are in Mexico. There are a few whose owners are Russians!
Starting November of 2023 I stopped buying products made in Israel. You can detect them by the special form their barcodes have to be.
Opportunities are almost endless to silently fuck the Capones. Be smarter, and it all ads up.
When Reagan called Iranians, "Barbarians", I convinced two bright Iranian physicists who had just graduated, to return to Iran instead of staying here serving this government. Almost all physics jobs are government jobs in this country.
They've both been fruitfully employed in Iran, one in the nuclear industry and one in education, and both recently retired.
That's how you deal with Capones.
