> one organization is a profit generating machine and the other is in a debt spiral You mean, MS is fat, while the government is skinny and feeble? Reminds me of Oscar Wilde who once had the following exchange with a rather overweight businessman at a party: Big Biz: "Mr. Wilde, you are such a skinny fellow. Looking at you, one would think there was a famine in England." Oscar Wilde: "And looking at you, one would think that you were the cause of it." I mean, between MS and the gov, we need to be clear about who's the owner and who's dog and who's feeding whom? And why is there a chewed up hand in this story? Important questions.
