| Sadly, many of these brilliant people have been blinded by the stock
| price and unable to see that Microsoft is also the key architect of
| the greatest financial pyramid scheme this century. 
| 
| It is not uncommon for participants in pyramid schemes to lose their
| emotional bearings. My close friends who work at Microsoft are
| particularly upset over my work and it is possible that even Bill
| Gates and Steve Ballmer do not realize the implications of their
| financial practices.

| As with all pyramid schemes, it is important to get as close to tier
| 1 as possible. From a practical standpoint, usually only tiers 1 and 2
| will derive significant long-term economic rewards from such schemes.

| Patent lawsuits have long been used as a competitive weapon in many 
| industries. Telecom is now getting their fair share. Vonage suffered a series 
| of patent lawsuits from competitors last year, and now Verizon is suing Cox 
| Communications on similar grounds.
