Next steps

Sorry, couldn't resist adding this bit from As The Apple
Turns (http://www.appleturns.com/):

Microsoft is now throwing cash at its problems, offering
rewards to anyone who catches virus-writers exploiting
the company's security flaws. What's the next logical step
in this progression?

Five hundred bucks to every customer who just shuts up
and stops complaining, period$50,000 to the responsible
party for each one of the plaintiffs in our hundreds of
lawsuits that suddenly "disappears"

Half a million clams to the stylist who can give Bill Gates
agood haircut for the first time ever

A cool $5 million to anyone who can somehow make
Longhorn's 2006 ship date seem early

$5 billion to the team of personal trainers, plastic
surgeons, and practitioners of the black arts who can
make people stop mistaking our CEO for a shaved ape
with a spinal deformity
