Oops. I posted about this 30 seconds ago along with very worrisome news. As
I've said for ages, Microsoft is fooling a lot of people and it's using Motley
Fool (it's part of MSN, i.e. Microsoft) to hypnotise people. Microsoft was
claimed to have done the same thing with Salon in the past. It's media
control.

_DO REMEMBER_ that most people get Windows only with a new PC. Based on the
prices of Linux PCs, Microsoft gets paid very little for Windows. If it
elevates the price, Linux will devour it. Office is the major cash cow and
it's hardly surprising that Microsoft resorted to well-documented corruption
in the fight against ODF.

And he has just left after many years in the company. He's not old. He joins
the likes of Gates and Allchin. Allchin totally disappeared into the darkness
after he unleashed Vista, aka MEII.
