      If he worked with Ballmer, he's probably taken a chair, one way or another...

    Its obvious why he left. Check his picture - he is quite obviously a vampire, and one of the undead. Putting him at the wheel for something called "Windows Live" means there is quite obviously a conflict of interest.

    (Music is Yesterday, by the Beatles)

    Yesterday
    All my competitors seemed so far away
    Now it looks as though they're here to stay
    Oh I believe in yesterday
    Suddenly, my head has half the hair that used to be
    There's an office chair hanging over me
    Oh yesterday, came sudlenly
    Why Linux had to come
    It wouldn't say
    We did Netscape wrong
    Now I long for yesterday
    Yesterday
    Monopoly was such an easy game to play
    Now I need to catch up with IP
    Now I long for yesterday
    Yesterday

    I like his version better, 'any hole is fair game, no bars on these holes!' That's dirty. I like it. Anyway, the point is moo. You know, like the opinion of a cow. It's "moo."

    In other news, noted playwright William Shakespeare was at the beach when he bent over and heard a ripping sound. Convinced he had torn his swim trunks, he asked a companion to look behind and report. "No holes, Bard" was the reply.
