Mind blowing news...Microsoft hackers had access for weeks yahoo.cnet.com update Hackers who broke into Microsoft may have done little more than poke around a few computers, although they had several weeks to explore the software giant's network, sources said. I call this fudalitious Who and why. Industrial espionage. Having source code would give tremendous first mover advantage if court rules in future that msft must reveal source. Mafia or terroists or nasties. Having source code could reveal many other holes in the secret binaries of Bill's Oses. Any company using msft with external access is not at a quantum larger unknown risk. Tom Watson tosiwmee

Nostaw, when I get my GUI writ youse will be knock, knock, knocking on my door. Singing my praises will you be. Wrapturous with envy of my verdant simplicity, you will moan for a free copy. But I will spurn you. Haughty with hauture I will turn my back upon my former critques and turn two deaf ears to their mornful cries for a discounted version of the simpler, better GUI. I will make thee pay double. Fiendish in my scrupulously scrofulous vengeful ways I will lay waste to the toxic-X attached of the Linux world. So lonely and crash prone they will be. Perhaps in time I will take pity upon them and relent in synmpathy to their tortured sorrow and bestow the kinder, gentler GUI upon them. But I doubt it. EC<:-}
