As a firm believer in Microsoftism, Wolvindra believed the only way to get people to play Prop Hunt X was to make his existing maps incompatible with Prop Hunt Classic.

Microsoftian 

A 'Microsoftian' view is one that only supports what is already desired; disingenuous and pretentious at the same time.

Can be applied outside Microsoft discussions.

Slang, offensive.

See also 'formwhoring'.

"Please select which program you use for office documents:
A Microsoft Office 2000
B Microsoft Office 97
C Microsoft Office Pro
D Microsoft ...
E Microsoft ...
F Microsoft ...
G Microsoft ..."

('Microsoftian' in that you can only choose 'Microsoft' from the list. This list does not allow users to select 'Star Office', 'Open Office', 'Applixware', etc., all of which are office software suites that are in current use but are also NOT Microsoft software.)

And

"He said he wanted Chinese take out, but his Microsoftian demeanor during discussions left us no choice but to get italian take-out."

Microsoft'ism 

Microsoft'ism is the Religion of Microsoft, the great company. I felt the need as a Microsoft'ism Priest to spread the message of the great religion I'm in. Microsoft'ism's Savior and Lord is Clippy the Paperclip, and Bill Gate's is his Son, here to save us from our Sin's we have committed, as we are all maggot's wriggling in the filth of Mortality without the likes of Clippy. Clippy the Paperclip created the Universe in a great explosion we know today as the Big Bang. He created multiple Species of animals, and us Humans, like Adam and Steve. Google Chrome below us burns the sinners for there retched acts of evil towards the church of Microsoft'ism.

The Priest of Microsoft'ism is the highest ranking person in the Church.

Microsoftize

A global or transnational corporation that desires/attempts to monopolize the global market, outsource valuable jobs to economically lesser developed regions/countries, and obliterate competitors within the same business sector. The prefix "micro-" is misleading, as Microsoft is not by any means a small corporation.

Microsoft Corporation has often attempted to Microsoftize the global market through their computer services, especially in the United States. As a result, several antitrust lawsuits have been filed against the multi-billion dollar corporation.
