Re: [PLUG] Microsoft Harangue

Sun Tzu's shared some of his wisdom:

  Know your enemy  
  
If MS is your enemy, then you should do your best to know MS.

I don't think that I really consider MS my enemy.  They ceartinly make things
unpleasant, but as of now, they're not really what I would consider an enemy.
