Oh Come On We Want Martha News
Simonyi and Martha Stewart have long been rumored as more than friends

http://www.tvsquad.com/2005/08/04/martha-stewart-gets-more-time/

But lets get more to the point. No one at Microsoft will touch Simonyi's Word code and it has been so for several years. The new Office product is a complete rewrite because Simonyi-et-al did not write the code in a way that it could be supported for longer than 5 years. Is Simonyi a hero in is home country because of his talents in software engineering - or his wealth accumulation which is now being used to benefit european and not US economies?

If ever there was a reason to reject H1-B Simonyi is it. He owns a boat with some kind of a name that means tax cheat. I forget the story. But Paul Allen just fired his yacht's crew because of drugs which might have resulted in the vessel being confinscated. Martha, we pray for you.
