Screw Microsoft. I could only LOL at their sheer hypocrisy when I read this comment from their hired bloodsucker : "Companies that create no content of their own, and make money solely on the backs of other people's content, are raking in billions through advertising revenue and IPOs". Yeah, right. Pot, meet kettle, etc.
