The smelly hands of Microsoft are so all over this craziness in MA- practically the entire state gov. is under threat of reorganization, simply to derail ODF.

MS execs should be under investigation by a special prosecutor.

Lolrof... Same old, same old. By now the special MS prosecutor should be a permanent position.

tuxchick -

You're wrong. We've already tried the prosecution thing. Won, got upheld on appeal. Nothing happened.

It's time for a Chicago-style solution.

If only I still had Ugly Vito's number lying around...

I must have a pinstriped suit and a cigar stub around here somewheres....

Ballmer on his knees just to pull part of his arsenal hiding under his beer belly, then the lead really starts to fly! No this is not going to be an easy rub out. In fact, why not try another approach - just keep crashing his Windows machine until he goes insane ... oh, that's been tired and it worked. Well let me think about it for a while, and see what I can come up with. OK?
