Microsoft looks for $1bn savings
« on: 7 July 2004, 14:41 »
Oh dear ... could this be the beginning of the fall of an empire, won't be the first and sure won't be the last.

So let's get this straight. You want to make cost savings so you are reducing benefits to staff etc how typical.

Here's an idea Billy boy!

Stop treating other companies like crap and treat them with respect and decency they deserve. If you had done so would have saved... oh let's think now... over a billion in fines and a load more you paid to all those teams of legal vultures.

Later

Certainly this is the beginning of the end. Ballmer's talking about taking away the free soda.  Everyone knows that geeks need cola  to survive.
