    MS doesn't miss the bus. The problem is the MS bus is a short bus.

    Linux caught the bus. But MS made Linux sit in the back of said bus.

    Don't know if anyone said it, but it seems to me that it's because the onboard video is using 16 of those 128 MBs..

    Unless there's a bathroom on the bus. Who wants to sit next to that? MS had a burrito for lunch and is in there every five minutes.
