Microsoft, which is nearing debt, is behaving as badly as it does because it's
in serious trouble and it knows it. It doesn't want anybody else to know and
those who inform it will attack viciously.

Juniper Networks exec to succeed Microsoft Business Division President Raikes

| Another reason I consider the Raikes announcement timing odd: Why announce

| wants to get all its defection/churn announcements out of the way at once.
| But I’m not sure I’d look at things the same way, if I were one of the
| company’s “image makers”….

| President in charge of Microsoft’s Server and Tools Business, is going to
