Poland seems to be afflicted with insecurity and a "me too" mentality. They badly want to be part recognized as an important western nation. Sometimes this desire is reflected in superficial acts such as buying F16 fighter jets, supporting Microsoft initiatives, etc. The problem with following is that you are always a step behind. Wake up! Microsoft is over! I have a very harsh view on this for which i apologize in advance.

Of course the comparison between Nazi Germany and Gates' Microsoft is... well... at least unfortunate.

Dino, three things:
1) I invoke Godwin’s Law
2) Please repeat your history course; German invasion on Poland in 1939 was the cause of WWII, therefore your first sentence is factually incorrect
3) Your second sentence is plainly stupid.
