This is the same bullshit that was thrown around when IBM sold off their PCs to Lenovo. A British spy agency coming out with information like this but not in public? Sounds like bullshit to me. Britain would be well advised to steer clear o

Ballmer is ideal material as a COO but he is in no way CEO material. He didn't even join the board until he got made CEO. He has done a pretty good job with maintaining the lines that make Microsoft the bulk of its revenue but in new a

The number and versions of these libraries is just immense. A lot of what the early versions of these libraries used to do is now handled by upgraded versions of javascript. Adding JQuery etc. to the browser is a short term fix, that would
