Thanks. I wondered ...

The only way I would "go over" to M$ is if I got a job there so I could spy
for us good guys. Fat chance.

M$ is evil. I was asked why I thought the terrorists didn't blow up M$, and
I thought for a moment, and realized this:

1. Terrorists want to make people angry and afraid.
2. Blowing up M$ will not make people angry. Corporate IT mgrs will shit
their pants, but hey, they get paid to "deal with it".
3. Can you imagine a TV newscaster reporting the "tragedy" of M$ being
destroyed? They'd have to be tranquilized to keep from laughing on air.

4. Oddly enough, what has happened is good for M$. OK, conspiracy theorists,
step right up ....
