Bill's all but totally disentangled from the management of MSFT anymore. Sure, he's got the lion's share of stock, but that's about it. Ballmer's the one who destroyed the language and the company that was founded upon it. I don't think anything but a stockholder revolt at this point would help. http://vb.mvps.org/images/BallmerCEO.gif (about 9 months behind, but you'll get the gist) -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

Could be. Who knows? I'm not sure I still *know* any of their customers. Survey time... Anyone here a MSFT customer? (Present tense) -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

I sure would like to want to delve into something new. I had an interesting experience today, apropos of that. I was in Best Buy and saw that they're selling cheap Atom PCs running XP. That cheered me up, because I don't dislike XP as much as I dislike Vista/7. I only mildly loathe it. So the likelihood that XP will be fully supported for at least 3 more years is almost uplifting. (Or to borrow a bit of Microsoft culture's rampant verbification, it "happifies me". :)
