* Remember when Ballmer said that under no circumstances would Microsoft ever consider relocating to Canada? Makes the news about Corel a little more interesting, eh?
* I haven't read Heileman's book, but the Wired article was one of the few places that drove home the point that Microsoft's crime wasn't bundling IE into Windows, it was threatening Compaq that they would lose their Windows licensing deal if they continued to promote Netscape.
