New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics
Tigen writes "As the NY Times reports, even as MS prepares to face penalties from the European Union, testimony during the second week of trial in the consumer class-action lawsuit in Minnesota has revealed some embarrassing internal documents from Microsoft which were not disclosed in the 1997 federal antitrust lawsuit. Items include a 1990 letter from Bill Gates to Andy Grove, and Microsoft's illegal tactics against the Go Corporation, a Silicon Valley startup."
Microsoft would not leak so many embarrassing documents if they never wrote anything down. But, I hear you say, surely people will just record what they say and leak the recordings. Well, not if they conduct all their business in mime. So that is my suggestion. Microsoft should do everything by mime.

Recently overheard somewhere at One Microsoft Way:
What's this: "New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics" ?!
I thought I told you guys to SHRED those documents, nod SHED them!
I hear there's rumors on the Slashdots
Whenever you append "&partner=google" to the end of a NYTimes URL, you're in sans registration.
But what if San wants to use his registration when we already are? Then what will he do?!

Well, I've tried telling my Windows support leaches that I don't remember much about Windows any more, but it doesn't seem to help. They go on and on anyway about all the things they have already tried and still they get this message on start-up that doesn't stay up long enough for them to read but tells them that something is missing.
I suppose I COULD give them outright bogus advice... "Try deleting some of your registry keys. Too many of those can cause problems like that." But then, that wouldn't be very nice would it? On the other hand, once their system was totally toast maybe they'd be more inclined to give a true manly operating system a try.

And now that the link is on slashdot, the admins at the NY Times will wonder why AlQuaida suddenly is their biggest partner! Picture their faces when they run their log analysis tool...
