Another Reason to Hate Microsoft

This post at Americablog details how Microsoft has abandoned support for gay rights legislation in its home state of Washington, apparently because some idiot right-wing religious zealot threatened them with a boycott. What are they gonna do, go to Apple (which does support gay rights) or move to Linux (which the narrow-between-the-eyes set can't figure out anyway)? That Microsoft blinked at this meaningless threat is disturbing in the extreme. I expect Hell-Mart to support right-wing issues, but the Tech field is filled with a much more diverse population, and for Microsoft to cave like that is not only absurd, it's ridiculous.
