This sort of thing is truly obnoxious, Fred.  I know some MS people, and
know them to be dedicated, skilled programmers.  I've coded using
Microsoft's libraries, and the ones I used had alot of good ideas in
them, and would have been truly glorious, had they been completed.

The average programmer at MS is VERY good at his job (they'd have to be,
to get through the interview process).  The problem is that it's not the
programmers and testers who decide when the product gets shipped, it's
the advertisers and the accountants.  It is also the advertisers and the
accountants that set the business model you hate so much.

Basically, Fred, be a little bit more discriminating when you bash
people you don't know for things you don't know anything about.
