		<description>Actually, Vista is an okay OS.  People just WANT it to be bad, so they think it is.  All software is buggy, even little bitty programs.  The more code written, the more bugs found.</description>

		<description>Yeah, Bill Gates would TOTALLY question having to restart his computer after installing updates. He&#039;d obviously have no idea how THAT system works.

This is so obviously fake that it hurts.
Nice try, though.</description>

		<description>He is/was the ultimate decision maker at MS and should have kept on-top of all operatons.  The MS site has been bloated for a long time.  This (alleged) email was sent in 2003.  5 years later and no change.  MS could do a LOT more to keep up with customer satisfaction. One of those major factors is their wish to try and force Vista down our throats and forcing it by stopping XP support. Listen-up MS, we prefer XP. That is what the majority of cutomers want.  And, on the whole, cutomers pay MONEY. Simple equation really.</description>

		<description>Why do you guys have to resort to insulting people. I was making a clean joke about Apple products being easier to use then Microsoft products. All you can do is come back and call us idiots and fags that love it in the ass. Grow up.</description>

		<description>No, it seems likely that he is fed up with all you Mac idiots thinking that you are far superior than everyone else when in fact all you have is a shiny facade to hide behind. Sorry you lose, but thanks for playing anyway.</description>

Steve here. I decided to purchase and download iWork ‘08. So I went to apple.com and clicked on the “Downloads” link. iWork wasn’t listed in the top downloads so I searched for iWork and it was the very first thing that came up.

Also, I love it in the ass.  All my customers are designfags.

		<description>Gates responded, &quot;There’s not a day that I don’t send a piece of e-mail … like that piece of e-mail. That’s my job.&quot;

Wow... Maybe that&#039;s why Bill is leaving? 

I mean, who wouldn&#039;t get frustrated after 5 years of daily emails like this and still get results like what we know now as Vista?

In my most humble opinion, Microsoft should split over their business activities.  So dedicated teams could do better work... What&#039;s that you say? They already do that? Sheesh!</description>

		<description>Pretty much sums up what is wrong at Microsoft.  

Anybody with half a brain does not have the time or the will the review Microsoft&#039;s own product.   The less than half brainers are running the show. Inexperienced developers, incompetent middle managers, a lack of any realistic quality control, almost no useful internal communications, an isolated web team, and I am sure even more wrong with Microsofts structure.  In short probably everything that can go wrong with a bog corporate structure.

The company chairman should never need to send this kind of email.  If it were me, I&#039;d be ordering a giant enema bag to start the house cleaning.

Too bad because I am sure there are some full brainers there, probably weeping to themselves in some dark corner.</description>

		<description>I was sure it was fake until you said that he admits to it. Hilarious.

&quot;Hey guys,

Steve here. I decided to purchase and download iWork &#039;08. So I went to apple.com and clicked on the &quot;Downloads&quot; link. iWork wasn&#039;t listed in the top downloads so I searched for iWork and it was the very first thing that came up. The site was fast and snappy! How is it possible for you guys to do such a great job!?
