Can they get any more undignified or childish? This is the biggest
software company on the planet, and the most obscenely rich company
of all time. Yet they pout, throw public tantrums, and emit the most
amazing line of pure baloney on a regular basis. Nothing is ever good
enough and everyone picks on them, all those mean governments and
unhappy users and mouthy Linux hippies and everyone.
All of this blustering and posturing are signs of desperation, a
company that has lost its way and cannot find the way back.
Microsoft needs to move to a new version. See sig.

never a reason." -- Bill Gates, FOCUS interview
