There are many more. That famous 'war map' is available from many sites on
The Web, but I think that it excludes the gaming/entertainment indutry
altogether.
Microsoft is no longer a software company. Not only does it handle politics
(usually behind the scenes), but it also invades everything that leads to
total control, which is reason to be wary.
Scott Bellware [MVP]: Microsoft is No Longer Software Company...

| Microsoft simply isn't in the business of making software anymore.
| It's only in the business of being in business. Pretending to be

| What was I thinking? Everyone knows that this kind of functionality

| Vista... or Windows XP. I think I'm about to become a lover of
| antiques... or Macs.
