MS Insider: The Office Crew Isn't Smart Enough to Supplant Real Windows

More key people are expected to jump ship later this week. It was horrible last
week two (Microsoft's #3 man resigned). I hope Microsoft can manage to fill so
many voids. Otherwise, it's going to have some serious problems and
a 'retired' Gates will need to bribe a lot of people to keep the monopoly
alive and people 'addicted' (I've just spotted another incident in
India). "Addicted", by the way, is Gates' own word.
