The Nicholas Cage movie "Face/Off" was better than this swill. It's not a "face-off" at all, it's a stale, old-media "He said/She said/Only Time Will Tell" wishy-washy piece of nothingness. Lots of stuff to make all-MSFT shops feel good, lots of stuff to make heterogenous shops feel good. Nothing else.
