		<description>Lessee here:
     1. Vista is a complete flop (despite the bloated sales-figured Ballmer lies about).  
     2. Ballmer&#039;s making cryptic, talking-out-his-ass type statements about how Microsoft has evidence of patent infringement by Linux, but never actually ponies up.  (Nobody else actually gives a shit anymore.)
     3. The FLOSS (Free-Libre-Opensource) scene is exploding outward at a staggering rate (in the REAL world of private citizens and business, at least.)
     4. Micro$uck has become the favored target for lawsuits (admittedly just &quot;peck peck pecking&quot; at the edges, but pirana can strip a horse in ten minutes.)  
     5. Dell (a &quot;major name&quot; in home computers) has broken ranks on TWO counts -- reverting to XP, and offering stock systems preloaded with Ubuntu Linux (in response to &quot;significant&quot; customer demand, mind you.)
     6.   EVERYBODY -- even those who like their &quot;products&quot; -- hates Micro$hit.  The (deserved) penalty for use of WinDoze bugware shit is viruses, trojans, spyware, horrible instability and their newest &quot;feature&quot; -- your computer reduced to a &#039;telescreen&#039; from Orwell&#039;s 1984 (they &#039;allow&#039; you to do stuff, rather than the other way around.)
         And now, they aquire an ad agency.  And?
         The desperate, pathetic farce known as MicroSoft --- nothing but an empty shell.  Yeah, they&#039;re still rich.  But the point is, they&#039;re TOTALLY IRRELEVANT.  Why does anybody actually think their antics are even interesting anymore?
