They’re making Mike an offer he will refuse.

I’ve also heard of the fabled burial ground that M.S. speaks of!!!

Ooooh…let us buy you out for pennies on the dollar or we’ll edge you out. Emphasis on the “out”.

I believe that Microsoft still owns a considerable chunk of Apple. An Apple exec told me how Apple was struggling when they discovered a big chunk of Mac OS code in Windows. Gates called up Jobs and said, “Steve, it happens that your company needs a big cash infusion, and at the same time, my company needs to not be sued.”

Hmm. I’ve raised concerns at work that all our login data is stored on Microsoft’s servers. Login at any Microsoft product such as email with Outlook, conference using Microsoft Teams, is used with the same password that I use to log into the PC in the morning.

And here I’m sitting, typing on my tablet using the SwiftKey keyboard. Or as it’s now known, Microsoft SwiftKey. I’ve kept that separate from everything else, though.

The key is purchasing a Judge at least one level higher than the one trying your case.

Yahoo! found that they made a big mistake when they turned down MS.

In ‘99 it was Microsoft. Soon, it’ll be Google.

Go for it Mike. You’ll be rich! Richer than astronauts!

Switch that Santa’s cap for an axe-executioner’s mask

According to the Trump kids, their role in running their father’s company was to do absolutely nothing.And of course,they won’t name the names of these “experts” they were listening to.

Better take the offer Mike. Your company’s a joke.

You’re lucky, Mike. If you were an employee, he’d expect you to remove your own head, put it on a platter and hand it to him.

We’re watching Two and a Half Men episodes and last night was Ashton Kutcher’s debut. He was a billionaire thanks to selling his company to Micro$oft, which promptly killed the company’s product.

He just wants the intellectual property, if there is any

Decapitation with a smile.

Amazing how Apple has become the bad guy.

And so THIS is the value of the networking that Kim talked him into and Bernie applauded?

Well, wolf in sheep’s clothing, great white in a santa hat.

Embrace and extend. The old M$ motto.

Don’t own a horse, do you Mike?

I think Mike just blew it :(

MS has a similar application stored away just for the purpose of suing newcomers out of existence.

The fun side of having a poor memory: everything old is new again.
