Let's review Microsoft's track record. Microsoft took the Mac OS, repackaged it as it's own, and sold it as Windows 95. Microsoft took Java, repackaged it as it's own, and sold it as C#. Well, Microsoft is doing it again. This time, it's taking Google and repackaging it as Windows Live. It hopes to roll out their own version of Gmail (Windows Live Mail) and Google Maps (Windows Live Local). Microsoft has really perfected the art of overtly stealing other people's ideas. It's just so obvious, and on such a scale that people are left scratching their heads wondering: Did that just happen?
I really think we should harness this sort of power towards more productive ends. What if we send Microsoft into Iraq? How annoyed would insurgents become once Microsoft started claiming responsibility for bombings it had nothing to do with? The Iraqi people would be united in their hatred for Microsoft, yet keep them in power for some odd reason. We must release Microsoft upon our enemies. It is our only hope for victory.
