According a maniacal evil personality to what is simply a corporation seems pointless to me. The company is run by people, and of the people I know at MS today, the 'screw-the-user' attitude is notably absent. As such, I guess I have some faith that MS is a sum of its parts, and that if the parts I know make good choices, maybe other parts will too, with a bit of prompting. Perhaps that makes me a fool; but I'd rather try than give up. How very cynical of you David :)

Did you really think that Microsoft is a leopard that can change its spots? Pamela, for more than 20 years, Microsoft has shown it cannot be trusted.
