Huh, interesting.

IMO, I think microsoft is trying to spread out too much. I think they should stay focused on software. :) It's buggy enough as it is. :D

Microsoft's faults have yet to be brought to light, at least they are moreso now. This article sums up many things people have against Microsoft, they need to fix up their own products before they go after other markets.

Of course they can be brought down by many smaller companies, if those are successful. Their business stratagy leaves something to be desired, as well.

Microsoft's main problem is that they are in deep water trying to get their current shit straight that they're having problems with new stuff.

Microsoft's problems are these:
1. Essentially half of their employees are RETARDED.
2. Ron doesn't own/work for them, so they obviously have no talented people there.

I'd kill to work at Microsoft. Every other office had 3+ monitors and 2+ computers in the room. One had 5 monitors, 1 large plasma television, and an XBox! And a 500 foot walk to another room == food/drink/pool!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I wouldn't want to work at Microsoft.  Money/luxery isn't the most important thing in life, I'd rather do something I enjoy.  Working for a big evil company isn't something I'd enjoy.

A big evil company.. Just hearing a full-grown 20 year old say that makes me laugh.  :P

But anyway, yeah microsofts problem is they don't know there own boundaries. I think with the kind of backing they have (financially) they could dominate the software market and release updates so much faster then anyone else. But ofcourse, they have a billion and a half other projects that they fucked up beyond belief. So heres microsoft now, realesing update after update, which half of them counter each-other, meanwhile 'hackers' (hate the term) are writing new exploits for microsoft products daily, because they can't keep up. Time for x86 to write a good linux distro and continue our secret plans on world domination. And no quik, has nothing to do with 0day.  :P

You're writing an exploit for the world?

If you work for Google you get money, luxery, and you'd have fun working.  One day I will work at Google!
