When companies do the cutting, they start with subsidiaries, not the 'core'
people. Microsoft already laid of some of their advertising people and staff
from FAST (they call it the "Enron of Norway" because of the massive
corruption). Sooner or later they'll fire all those Munchkins whom they hire
via PR agencies like W-E.
We live in interesting times. Imagine an Internet without paid shills. The
Microsoft guy who wrote this literature ("Evangelism is WAR" etc.) and gave
those presentation at Microsoft was in touch with me and another person from
COLA. He didn't even deny that Microsoft was doing it, but he could only talk
about it after it had been leaked (Come vs Iowa).
As Microsoft collapses, it's going to be important to bring out all those
secrets. It's one thing for a corrupt company to fall but another to actually
show that corruption while it exists.
