Guess the Microsoft PR machine will have to adjust the loony-toon Microsoft haters spiel just a bit.

Good to see that the folks at OSI follow their own procedures and standards.

But they did have to behave themselves.

Probably had to hire an army of consultants to figure out how that works.

Probably the same battle-hardened consultants who coached Bill Gates on how to appear and behave in public. They don't come any more battle-hardened than that.

I don't know, Hillary Clinton's folks must be working overtime.

Both Hilary and Dubya already knew how to bathe, groom, dress nicely, and not scratch their privates or pick their noses in front of reporters. If you want the most experienced, and probably the most PTSD'd, you want BillG's handlers.

A coup d'etat would be nice, way better than two years of "politics" as news from the big toothed bobble heads. Fast, cheap, less blood shed and way less inconvenience.

Yep. Napoleon was very efficient.

How about simply abolishing the state and getting alll that time and treasure back to do what is actually important?
