A very worthwhile contribution, Chris, and I thank you for it. I agree that options are less precious in keeping people at a company such MSFT, although it has enabled the company to pay lower salaries to get people to work those crazy hours. (They also, as you know, have a habit of hiring "consultants" to work crazy hours without paying benefits or incurring a good bit of administrative cost, thereby lowering the "total cost of ownership" of the bodies.)

As I am sure is obvious, Chuzz and I have taken rather extreme positions and appreciate a dose of reality. BTW, why should you blush? A note of levity on this thread should be welcome as long as the information is substantive. What's happening here is far more to the point than a good deal of the name calling and jeering that goes on elsewhere. At least, we are being complimentary.

[And after some of what you posted elsewhere.... ;-)]
