Microsoft Kicks Playstation2 out of CeBit.
dnaumov writes "According to this article on ZDNET, Microsoft complained to the show organizers, Hannover Messe AG, that Sony was breaching show rules by letting people play on Sony PlayStation 2 game consoles. While Sony has been letting people play their consoles at CeBIT for the past 3 years, that didn't really bother anyone. However, MS seemed to not like the fact and filled a complaint. What makes this even more funny is that Microsoft officials denied that the company had complained to the Messe. but the show organizers confirmed that Richard Roy, vice president, corporate strategy, had complained. This effectively forced PS2 out of the show and Sony started packing their bags on Sunday. Microsoft was also displaying their XBOX console at the show."

MS: You're cheat-in'! I'm telling!! I'm telling!
Sony: Tell you what. We'll Rochambeau you for it.
MS: What's Rochambeau?
As Lou Gerstner says, after ten years running a company change needs to occur otherwise you become stale and uncreative...
The problem with relating that to MS is that they were never creative in the first place.

Yeah, but Sony is MY kinda evil! If I could get them to agree to it I would use nothing but Sony stuff, I'd wear it, play it, work on it, live it, if they made food I'd eat it. When the world is ruled by the Megacorps I'm gonna sign up with Sony. If there must be one huge monopoly in the electronics industry my vote is with Sony. I Am Sony's Little Bitch!!
