The key word is /supposedly/. Didn't the BBC have a former Microsoft employee
decide on who to leak taxpayers' money to (*ahem* Erik Huggers) and Nokia have
a former Microsoft employee decide on Ogg in HTML5 (open competition to
Silverlight, which Nokia soon afterwards adopted). Always look for the
insiders because Vodafone and Yahoo have them too now, and it shows!
