Microsoft harvesting other's technology through acquisition, is like the
area's biggest restaurant re-selling hamburgers they sneaked in the back
door, from the MacDonalds round the corner.
It's a criminal waste of their own massive resources, an insult to their
own staff, and their customers (who were expecting haute cuisine)
actually end up with cold, soggy, and very unappetising hamburgers.
