- ivankirigin 19y agoYou're right. I just misread the stats.

- aswanson 19y agoIt is easy to rationalize the MS behaviour: 1. They answer to W.H. Gates. 2. He likes it. 3. It's not their money. 4. It will improve their reputations in the company. The only answer I can come up with for the other side, given my information, is VC interference.
