Think of the possibilities!

Kraft, you say? Maybe Microsoft should come up with their own special macaroni and cheese. How about a Microsoft mouse for a mascot? Goodbye, Kraft!

For that matter, I notice that a lot of people like to enjoy a good cup of coffee while using their computers. Perhaps a new "Microsoft Special Blend" is overdue. They could use the word "robust" again, just as they do when describing their software. They could give a free coffee subscription away with each purchase of Windows, and drive Folgers right into the grounds, I mean ground.

And let's not forget the beer drinkers: Microsoft Lite, Microsoft Special Dark, Microsoft Genuine Draft....(MGD? Oh-oh, looks like another lawsuit!) Remember, when you're out of Microsoft, you're out of beer!

Look, I don't hate Microsoft, but why do they think they should be everything to everyone? They got in the browser business, and now they're not the best at that. They got into the anti-spyware business, and they're not the best at that. They're getting into the anti-virus business, and they won't be the best at that. Now it's VOIP and Web hosting, and blah, blah, blah. And even though they won't be the best at anything they do, they will somehow end up being the only ones doing it, because they've driven everyone else out of business. Well, this time the target isn't WordPerfect or Netscape. Maybe some of the blood in the street will be Microsoft's.
