I love the book, but was a little disappointed in your brief description of why cooking with smoke makes food taste so good. Here in Texas, smoking meats is very popular, but little is understood regarding the science involved in cooking this way.
For instance, why do smoked meats stay moist and tender instead of drying out? Why do smoked meats have a pink color near the surface - almost appearing uncooked? Is cooking with smoke really carcinogenous?
Part of the reason for such a cash reserve is that they have a large liability exposure. Think of all the companies with MS products in mission-critical applications. If MS were proved at fault in some large class-action suit, the settlement could easily reach $40B.
Which reminds me of the movie The Jerk. Think Bill would write all the checks personally, like Navin did?
"Pay to the order of Mrs. Wilbur Stark, one dollar and nine cents!"
It's hard to recall any industry which has so abused, neglected and exploited its customers and survived.
How about the largest industry in the world - the automotive industry? Where in your new car's owner's manual does it tell you how to fix problems with the automobile? They hide tech more than anybody and they are very successful.

There is no "human" interaction at convenience stores now. Close encounters with alien life maybe...
