MS has virtually unlimited resources. I think they do pretty much
whatever they want to do. They have so much cash they are giving it
back to the shareholders because they do not know what to do with it.
Have them write me a big check, and I will hire Bob and we will get it
done. :)

Agreed that it is a business decision, but lets just say it is a
strategic business decision and avoid the smoke screen about limited
resources.
