Still the cheesiest, Reggie. Also assiduously pursuing the whiniest crown. You can dish it out, but you can't take it. You also still can't be bothered to read what you have typoed.

Why isn't the NSCP mgmt. to blame for attepting to fight battles in a Washington lobby rather than in the software market?

Sounds like a good strategy to me. The concept of making money in the particular "software market" where you're faced with a market price of $0.00 is problematic. You and your buddies are always assuring us of the futility of going against Microsoft on technical grounds. Or any other grounds for that matter. Oh, sorry, that was a different context of the inscrutable Mind of Reg(TM).

Just think how hard it would have been to convince DOJ to push the case if the Microsofties hadn't left all that email laying around. Of course, that too just awaits the elusive context of the Mind of Reg(TM) to explain it all away. And think about how long negotiations could have been strung out if Bill hadn't felt obliged to sneer at the consent decree as soon as he signed it, and to push a case through court arguing that it was totally meaningless, in the ineffable raised middle finger style we all love so. Do the Microsoft lobbying $ figures include all the fake "grass roots" lobbying? Whatever happened to the world class lobbying organization Bill was supposed to have in place in 6 months anyway?

Remember the Microsoft War on Java? Where trustworthy and loyal Reggie was always arguing "Microsoft must defend its mindspace"? And when convenient, that everything about Microsoft Java was superior, an argument that developers found unconvincing? Too bad that the Microsoft mindspace is such a frightening and polluted place these days. Couldn't happen to a nicer company, of course.

Cheers, Dan.
