Neelie should be like a pitbull on a poodle over Microsoft's corruption. Sadly,
in the past, Microsoft drove her away using smear campaigns and retaliations.
It's down to the politicians, who refuse to step in and intervene.
Sadly, this October I'll have a brother in-law who works at Intel. All those
kickbacks are not his faults, but then again it reminds me of the "we were
just following orders" excuse from the 1950s.
