Come on now No Axe...

You would think Microsoft would only hire and consider top-level, intelligent, "cream of the crop" candidates for employment. (obviously not)

Have these hires been living in outer Elbonia for the past 15-20 years to not know of MS's anti-trust behaviour and problems and what not to do to continue them?

Oh wait, according to wikipedia, Elbonians would make perfect MS employees.

"The Republic of Elbonia is a fictional country from the comic strips Dilbert and Plop: The Hairless Elbonian. It is an extremely poor, fourth-world Eastern-European country that has recently abandoned Communism. Most of the nation is covered with waist-deep mud, which the residents use to build houses. Much of the economy is mud-based. Elbonia is also at war with its neighbour, Kneebonia.

Most of the Elbonians have beards, even the females, and wear tall grey hats and black mittens. Their technology is very outdated, and includes tin can telephones, and giant slingshots (instead of airplanes). Elbonians are commonly portrayed as idiotic and backward. For many years the country has been mired in a civil war between the left and right-handed Elbonians, although the war was mostly bloodless, as the Elbonians did not realize they were allowed to use weapons.

Elbonia's government is a dictatorship, run by a right-handed Fidel Castro-esque military strongman who strives to crush the lefties. Dogbert briefly deposed the President and made himself dictator, turning Elbonia into a tourist hotspot by making prostitution and gambling not only legal, but mandatory.

The national bird of Elbonia is the frisbee. In order to attract tourists Elbonia openly lies in its promotional videos, and claims to host five of the seven wonders of the world.

The Elbonians refuse to do any business which is not corrupt. When Dilbert's company won the bid to build a cell phone network for the Elbonians, they would not accept the contract until they were given a giant toaster, which they were told was a nuclear warhead."

Yes... we now know were MS must be doing it's hiring
