All the moron had to do was OPEN the freakin' door so he could enter the building...

          This quest will not be easy brave warrior. Do you have the strength to succeed? First you must travel to the Nine Lands of the Crystal Monkey. There you must find the wizard Garthok. He will lead you to the swamp of razor ice. If your heart is pure within the ice you shall find the Nunchucks of Spirit, made from no earthly element. These shall be your weapon of choice as you smash down the doors of Redmond. Good luck brave warrior, you may be our last hope.

                  John settled back to wait, knowing that eventually the pink/green lunatic would succumb to starvation. Even the sight of passers by, PULLING on the door handle was not enough to trigger the few brain cells this sad and lonely creature had left to grasp the handle and draw the door towards him. In the parking lot, a crowd was forming, fascinated by the ferocity and utter futility of this deranged creature. It was rare that such an opportunity for entertainment was granted to the coders at Microsoft Way, and they were emerging blinking into the pale sunlight hoping to catch a glimpse of something that would bring some fulfilment to their sad and futile existence. In the reception area, a lone secretary gestured to this person, possibly hoping that the act of waving would spur this lonely creature into some semblance of intelligence. Sighing, John realised that the only hope for this futile creature was a clean kill.

                    First of all, you need to attract some very bright people to work for you. You also need to have good ideas that people can get interested in, preferably across a wide area of applications. On top of this, you really need to be able to capture the business market - this is where you really make your money. If Google and Apple can't kill off Microsoft, what makes you think you can do it?

                    I think some people think of MS as their dieing grandmother and want the plug pulled. :^) Note: Some people does not necessarily include me :-\

                    Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                            It's easy: get approximately $220,000,000,000, buy their stock and fire everyone. (Of course, once you start buying stock, it will go up, so you may need two to ten times that amount.)

                                Microsoft doesn’t really exist. Do you think this is really a computer monitor you looking at? It’s all created by your imagination you poor soul. But there is a way, the brave man’s way! All that evil is in your head and in your head only. Now take that gun, point it to your head and pull the trigger! Destroy Microsoft! Be a winner!
