Yeah, ballmer is a moron, and he will one day be seen as the prime mover
behind the slow, smouldering death of Microsoft.
Not that I'm wishing for that, mind you. Microsoft has indirectly
made me a shitload of money. That they continue releasing horrible,
insecure, buggy, useless shit into the market is in my best financial
interest. And hell, *I* don't have to use it.
