And actually I'm glad you don't purchase it. I think I don't need you as a
customer.

And you don't understand, do you? That's maybe too much over your head?

I bite whatever hand I want. I'm free.
Look, computer chess is my passion. I have spent 20 years without getting a dime
from it.
If I don't get any more money from it in the future, tell you, I don't care.
I'm not going to accept anything just to please you.

Look: I don't care what people think about me. I don't care if you don't want to
buy my program because of my opinions.
I couldn't care less.
I work on Chess Tiger and I work hard. You think it's worth the price, you buy
it. You think I'm an asshole, you don't buy it.
I will go on ranting about Microsoft more and more. They *really* deserve it.
They pay you, so just keep on supporting them and pleeeeeease don't buy Chess
Tiger.
Thanks. You made my day.
