Wow. This article pretty much nailed the "Microsoft problem" for me, and not just with licensing, but the same attitude prevails in the security, marketing and management parts of the company. (Personally, I think this is aaaaaall Monkeyboy - things just haven't been the same since Bill went off into the hinterlands as a "Consultant" and left the day-to-day in Ballmer's hands....) Anyway, it's good to hear I'm not alone in my thinking.
I also find it amazing that what MS's competitors and the DOJ couldn't do, MS is doing (to) themselves -- they're making MS customers consider spending their money and time elsewhere.

Ummm, is it me or does this thing look like one of those 126 cartridge cameras Kodak sold to everyone with a paper route in the seventies?
Wow, THAT brings back some memories...
