| "So the outside vendor was Hewlett-Packard, one of Microsoft's
| hardware OEMs, which is to say Microsoft's bitch.

| The tape disappearance was blamed on HP, which accepted the blame,
| and the employees directly involved kept expecting there to be
| repurcussions, especially legal ones. They expected to be deposed by
| Burst lawyers. But it never happened.
|
| This was, for Microsoft, a perfect ending. ..."
