The Fall of the MS Empire

Dear Bill,

You have strong STS among your ranks. We all know this.

It takes the average PC user impossible odds to make his computer work correctly. Have you not noticed Norton sales lately? Do you still even go to work? I think that while you still have a human container that you should make every attempt to move your hapless MS user base to another operating system AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Try Sun, Apple, whatever. Move them now.

I suggest that you do this with haste brother, or you will be paying a bill from Cosmic Mastercard or Cosmic American Express that you and-or your dad will not be able to "pay off." Your clock has run out, IMHO, period.

My gut feeling (from personal programming sith VB, buttembler, .net, etc., experience actually) is that you are having senior moments and can not recognize the STS at the helm of Microsoft. My suggestion: give it up (release source code, schemas, rights) now or immediately, whichever comes sooner. Take your Apple-Sun laptop to Starbucks, smell the flowers, spend time with your wife, ext., and get a latte. Enjoy life. 606 will have another nice buttignment for you - they always do. You know that I know whereof I speak.

Have a nice day,

John

P.s. Everybody else: You do think that there are not STS at Microsoft? Bush's Nazi have not compromized MS? Grow up children, turn OFF your TV, get a life, etc.,
