If Microsoft is evil, why is it they, and not Apple, signed onto a legal brief against the Defense of Marriage Act?

Microsoft was massively evil in the past, and have mellowed out to be medium-level evil. Apple wasn't that evil in the past, and has become "Crazed Over-inflated-ego Evil."

As much as people hate to admit it, Apple is just as evil as Microsoft. They're just usually classier about it, so people—including countless so-called free software advocates I know—buy into them and claim they're "okay."

That said, it's great that Microsoft is supporting the legal brief. Poisoning the well is uncalled for in this case.

Because reality doesn't fit into a simplistic good/evil binary.

Yes, because homophobia is definitely what people mean when they say Microsoft is evil.

You do realise that Apple's current CEO is a gay male, right?

Because whoever is winning wants things to stay as they are.
