Indeed. But this thread is just another example of how these things always go. Satya Nadella could burn every inch of Redmond to ashes, bequeath his personal fortune to HIV research and then hang himself, and people would still fritter away weeks of precious mental effort trying to figure out how it all fit into the grand Microsoft World Domination Plot. Eventually they'd just conclude that Nadella actually didn't really do any of it, but was in reality set up by the NSA in conjunction with Google. The Internet is one big bullshit farm. That's about the only substantive thing anyone can say in discussions like this. -- :: Brandon J.
