There was another recent story about missing roughly half a billion dollars
because Microsoft moves its taxes to a particular US state. It was also
mentioned in Slashdot.

Financially, Microsoft isn't doing too well  (compared to past days), but it
sure gives an /illusion/. I reckon that amid OOXML crimes it also goes all the
way with AstroTurfing (the two are related) and hopes that will save it.
Prepare for a "new" Microsoft (a much more criminal Microsoft that is) just
before its IBMisation.
