My sympathies, but this letter is reminscent of (and probably as effective as) a written complaint to a lion for eating too many gazelles. Steve Ballmer's competitive advantage is not technical; it is the flipping great wodge of cash that he possesses. He wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't use it. Microsoft's leader, like a lion, is amoral: if he can get away with something that benefits him, he will do it, in fact, he <i>must</i> do it.
