With thanks to Famine for his link submission below, one has to ponder whether there is a leak of hazardous chemicals in the ventilation systems at Redmond Headquarters. Or maybe they were the prime customers of the tunnel guys (see pervious post). Either way, someone is smoking a particularly strong brand of something for this to happen.
The this I refer to is the reported plan of Microsoft with regards to adware and spyware companies. On the low end, if there is one, they plan to desist from blocking select spyware/adware companies because they have entered into agreemments with them for one thing or another. W-T-F!?!??! So, you want your customers to use your anti-spyware tool, BUT you don't want to block certain companies because you are doing business with them? Does anyone see the conflict of interest (read bullshit) here?
Well, sorry for Billy boy and the boys, lots of people see the problem and it is going to be a relations nightmare for them. Steve Jobs and the Apple crew are going to laugh their ass off if Microsoft goes thorugh with this. Nothing could be a better platform for the Apple switch campaign than such a major faux pas as this.
Microsoft needs to stop with the aspirations of world domination. They just are not bright enough to pull it off and they are going to pay for it one day. We can only hope.
Ciao.
