- Microsoft Busting Unions: Windows into populism's rise
  Posted by common from SFGate.com
  WashTech has tried to convert workers' anger into union drives. But those grinning, business-casual Microsoft executives have learned a thing or two about how to bust unions. One example: When a handful of Microsoft workers developing fledgling tax software took an initial step to unionize, the entire project was terminated by management.

- Windows Vista sales figures daunt Apple
  Posted by Jeff from Appleinsider
  Further emphasizing the challenges faced by Apple are the company's demographics. The computer maker reported 19 million active users of Mac OS X at last year's WWDC gathering -- meaning that Apple's entire user base could fit into less than a single month of Microsoft's most recent OS customers. A reported swelling of the former's ranks to 22 million this month, according to analysts' estimates, would still be overshadowed by Windows.

Microsoft abandons Yahoo bid

This Yahoo bid was stupid from the beginning. Microsoft was going to spend all its cash to chase Google in the advertising business? Huh? Ballmer clearly backed down when he didn’t want to ante up. I suspect the Microsoft board had second thoughts as well.

Microsoft's $528 million Washington tax break

You are misunderstanding – this is about Washington B & O taxes on corporations, not income taxes.

Blodget: MicroHoo ‘is gonna be a disaster’

At best a year to get the deal closed, two for integration. Multiple groups on each side working on similar projects… Sounds like a great idea and a nightmare to integrate.

Your concern that Microsoft is avoiding paying income taxes to the State of Washington is based on the erroneous belief that there is an income tax in Washington. Please check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_income_tax

I really don’t know what you’re belly aching about.

Bill Gates Issues Call For Kinder Capitalism

I honestly never would have predicted such thinking from BG several years ago.

What I want to see now is the staunch capitalist’s response to such thinking. Maybe the Economist will have something (dismissive and venomous, as usual) to say about it…
