Maybe MS could buy Roy's search engine? Apparently the bearded masses
are gathering to complete his vision -
http://iuron.com/documents/propose/version1/
And I quote (I still hurt from laughing when I read this site)
,----
| Since Iuron is an Open Source project, rapid assemblage and construction

| repository. Think of it as a public-driven reciprocal effort to process
| and then centralise human knowledge.
`----
So basically, Roy wants to make a Trojan horse. Mind numbingly double
standards.
