Accelerating my departure vector...

…from Planet Microsoft. Today t3h B0rg withdrew support of (Washington State) H.B. 1515, a bill which would have prevented discrimination based on sexual identity. That (plus the defection of a nearby Democrat-in-Name-Only, Tim Sheldon), doomed the measure to a 24-25 defeat.

I'm already working for a Linux-oriented company, so I've taken a few steps on the no-Microsoft path. But because of this, I hereby withdraw my support of Microsoft. I will not buy another product of theirs until they prove, once more, that they actually do support equal rights in the state in which they have their headquarters.

I'm shocked that t3h B0rg withdrew their support. They always seemed very tolerant towards their gay employees.

I stopped using Micro$oft products at home a long time ago. I've been full time Linux since 1998.
