I've been on this list far too long to not feel more at ease if my moral sense does not match yours.

Re: [CGUYS] microsoft pays to pla...er screw us
It is M$ SOP. If M$ can't develop a better product and they can't force you to be acquired, they will pay others to beat you out of business. That is how Gates succeeded and built M# into the giant it is today. Hopefully, this won't work with Google. If not unethical, then truly an ugly business model.

Re: [CGUYS] microsoft pays to pla...er screw us
Plus it seems like corporate suicide for News Corp. If I don't find it on Google it doesn't exist. FOX and the WSJ just announced that they are going out of business to a major portion of the world. This should be good for a 5% drop in the value of these properties day one. On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 6:43 AM, Snyder, Mark - IdM (IS) mark.sny...@ngc.com wrote: It is M$ SOP.

Are you trying to get me to take back what I said about M$ not being able to innovate?
