"We need the brigde NOW," they yell. Or to give a /REAL/ Microsoft quote: "it's
all just a matter of commercial interests."
I'm sure there are more briberies on the way and many more past ones that were
not properly documented.
Microsoft recently used the Burton Group puppet to hide (as in rewrite history)
