Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

Well he should've taken that grease-gun out of his back pocket /before/
he sat down then, shouldn't he?

Seriously though, I half expected this to be a story about his reaction
to exB0rks sales figures; the schematics and colour scheme for the next
Zzoon; the projected time-frame for Windows 7 (ME3); Live Search market
share projections; a call from his channel partners telling him to take
back unwanted Vista boxes; or a board (bored) meeting with investors...

...but to be "sobbing" over Pearly "make 'em pay" Gates?

That's just wrong.

I see the MSBBC have been doing some more "fawning" recently too.

Sickening, isn't it.
