Talk to the Man Who Wants to Oversee Microsoft

Imagine "campaigning" for a job that doesn't exist, may never exist, and is sure to be full of heartburn for anyone who takes it on. Stephen Satchell is a self-declared candidate for the three-person committee the Feds might appoint to ensure Microsoft's future good behavior. Satch is certainly qualified; he's been online nearly forever, he's worked with computer operating systems darn near as long as computers have had operating systems, and he's certainly not afraid to speak his mind. But even the best-qualified job candidates need to be interviewed before they are chosen, and Satch has consented to have Slashdot readers conduct the initial interview in this hiring process. One question per interviewer, please. We'll email him 10 of the highest-moderated questions, and post his answers next week.

I'm Not Afraid To Speak My Mind

and he's certainly not afraid to speak his mind.

He certainly isn't afraid to write long-winded anesthesia documents, which makes him eminantly qualified to be a government regulator.

The only question I have is "How does it feel to be the beurocratic hack that every member of the smear campaign against Microsoft was hoping for?"

Of course, somehow I don't expect he'll be answering that question.
