Gates chose the right time to leave Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| I can remember reporting on a leaked internal memo that Bill Gates issued to
| Microsoft staff in 1995 which was a literal call to arms to fight both

| no significant improvements over Windows XP. Similar things could said for
| Office 2007.
