An intentional abuse of the metaphor .

To me at least it kind of looks like Larry might be tacking the BMW
Racing sailboat down the Mississippi river. Yeah it is muddy at parts
and has some dangerous turns and things to watch out for but it is
also wide and long and has lots of room to make steering changes.

As much as people like to complain about the price tag and maintenance
costs for many there is comfort in picking and staying with the
marketplace leader. Not to mention the extensive sets of new
functionality that continue to be delivered release by release.

@home.com is bogus.

requires creative intelligence." - Lieutenant Thomas Keefer
