                  "TEACH ME HOW TO DO! TEACH ME HOW TO DO!" John peered through his rifle scope, drawn to the main entrance at Microsoft headquarters. "Amazing", the said to himslf. The overly slim figure dressed in pink and green was repeatedly bashing his head against the fortifications surrounding Microsoft headquarters. The recent influx of funds that resulted from Microsoft's pursuit of software patent infringements by Samsung had resulted in bolstered defenses, not so much against the him, but certainly enough for the pink/green retard in his cross-hair. "TEACH ME HOW TO DO! TEACH ME HOW TO DO!" This had turned into one of those discretionary shots, where he could shoot or not shoot, depending on his mood, and the world would be none the worse off for his decision either way. "TEACH ME HOW TO DO! TEACH ME HOW TO DO!", the pink/green retard was shouting. It would have been sad if wasn't so damn funny. John was becoming hypnotized. "TEACH ME HOW TO DO! TEACH ME HOW TO DO!" 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.)
