I don't hate Microsoft because of their shady business practices in the past. I hate Microsoft because they never seem to be able to innovate. Buying Skype for 8.5 BILLION? Jeez. They don't have enough talent to build their own network and client side software? Idiots.

It's not a family or friends business.

I really wish I liked Microsoft. I try. They have, directly and indirectly, pumped huge amounts of cash into the local economy here in the Seattle area. Unfortunately, they really stink at doing anything outside of the box.
In my opinion, the best thing Microsoft could do would be to shitcan Steve Ballmer and dump him in Lake Washington or the Sound. Get someone that can actually inspire and foster innovation.
