I'd post snippets, but there's just too much good stuff. Really gives you an inisght into the heads at Redmond.

 

To be fair, I think most companies do this. I guess I should've made the title "I hate corporations." But then, it wouldn't really fit in the MS forum now, would it?

 

Maybe there should be a Microsoft goodness galore website as well?  Bill Gates' charity gives away $1.5 billion dollars a year.  Microsoft itself gives away millions yearly as well as what is given away by their employees and previous employees.  But people are free to paint the company as evil since they're only doing what companies actually do *gasp*.
