As its leadership has changed, so, too, has Microsoft. But I am never going to stop being skeptical of Microsoft’s motives.

Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie may profess that the company’s top priorities are transparency, standards and interoperability. But regardless of these kinds of pronouncements, the Softies seem to believe that insisting their actions are altruistic and customer-motivated — even when they are really motivated by lawsuit threats and other, less-palatable reasons — will fool its constituencies.

Well, I just talked to the management at microsoft about you, and they gave me an earful. They said "Fuck you." See, they are going to continue to operate with or without your feeble embrace, buddy. I will tell you why. Because they make fantastic products that don't work and people still buy them. I'll bet you make a pittance to do a good job wherever you work, when compared to the BILLIONS that microsoft takes in daily! HA HA! Also, Bill Gates told me to tell you that he has a new company in the works. It's called MACROHARD. The purpose of his new company is to personally destroy YOUR life! As for the new owners of Microsoft, they have never heard of you.
