I've just realised that I left out the headline which shows that the incident
of corruption occurred in Hungary. IOW, we know for a fact that Microsoft is
breaking the law in Hungary, so the authorities crack down on Microsoft's
offices.
The whitewashing of Microsoft's corruptions is largely done by business
partners and Munchkins. Some professor whom I know says that Microsoft is now
using Ballmer as a strawman to absorb blame (good cop, bad cop) while
improving Bill's imagery and separating "Microsoft" from Ballmer. To an extent
this worked and this latest video buys even the devil some sympathy. The MBAs
would love it.
