But isn't it the executives, the very ones who led Microsoft to commit the
felony, who set the "trust me" policies?  So why should I trust
them when they've shown that they can't be trusted to stay within the law?


Shouldn't Gates and Ballmer be joining the execs from WorldComm, Enron,
Adelphia in jail?  I mean, WorldComm only mistated their earnings by, what,
$7 billion?  Gates and Ballmer have illegally extracted tens of billions of
dollars from innocent people for their own wealth.  Hmmmm... maybe jail is
too good for them.
