A vast capitalist plot
It is truly shocking, the way businesses pick on this fine technology company.

http://www.silicon.com/software/os/0,39024651,39117247,00.htm

Like you, I am terribly upset that companies would pander to their own selfish interests for security, flexilbilty, stability and cost of ownership. I immediately went to see my CFO about this shameful turn of events, but sadly found that he had gone to work for that Wall Street exploiter of the people, Merrill Lynch.

There was only one thing left to do. It was time to call together my top, Top, TOP MSCEs and give them very clear direction. This decision was greeted with the most woeful news! One had gone to work for that upstart Amazon. Another had thankfully abandoned the shameful American system to join Unilever; I was ever so thankful until I learned that this horrible company had also abandoned principle and joined the Linux ranks. Woe is me! The others went to work for SAP, Sage and Peoplesoft.

Mike, what are we to do? This wholesale selfishness on the part of business has to be stopped now!
