Ted, Then I take it you think its pure coincidence that MSFT pulled its support of a gay rights bill the day before the vote and right after an evangelical minister from Spokane threatened a nationwide boycott. I don't know what the people at Microsoft are thinking, but I'm pretty sure a "nationwide boycott" isn't going to happen, no matter what some minister from Spokane or Redmond calls for. It reminds me of the calls to boycott Proctor and Gamble because of their alleged ties to the Church of Satan. Churches might move away from Microsoft for other reasons, however. Cost, for instance.
