It'll be interesting to see how, in this future where everything is available for free with advertising, who exactly is going to be left selling things for the actual money required to pay for advertising and keep the party going?

What a giant monster Microsoft has become! He's trying to convince holders that Microsoft can survive in a "Google world." What is the REAL point of this? If you really do have so much clout stop wasting time and energy in trying to convince everyone what you are capable of and just DO IT. He's pulling the old self fulfilling prophecy stunt, if he repeats something enough perhaps it will happen, like the patent threats with GNU/Linux. In the mean time it doesn't look too good for them.

Cue the endless raft of less-than-flattering daily husband-and-wife relationship issues, of which the undying "does this dress make my butt look fat ?" is certainly going to be the nicest kind.
Way to go to take people's minds off Vista issues, Steve.
Or maybe not.

Stevie B is so cosily ensconced among his wierd corporate Addams Family that he allows hopeless incompetance to go uncorrected. indeed they seem to cherish it like some hideous and heretical perversion of the normal way of things.

Jobs thinks phone carriers are like girlfriends, and Balmer think he's like a wife, since he one shared a house with Bill gates. Hell, I've shared a house with dry rot, but it didn't lead me to feel related to it, except in an extremely distant, evolutionary sort of way.

I just cannot imagine myself saying to CEO: "Of course you can see the annual report, but firstly let watch this ad."

Free software sponsored by adds? That's probably the way to go for Vista. Then they can tell people not to complain about it because it's free :-) Steve then, is probably the horse...

What really scares me is it sounds like Bill and Steve are having a kid together. How else does one plus one make three?
