Post #241,305 by broomberg 1/13/06 9:46:45 PM Reply	Yup Good pod-cast. He LOVES MS. It is his life, his career, his every moment (or so it seems). And now he can no longer trust them (I guess he's a bit to the game in that area) and it really shook him up.
Post #241,329 by altmann 1/14/06 3:33:27 AM Reply	Is there more in it that what was in the transcript? Because I read that and it sounds like he doesn't know what he really "found" yet. FWIW MS doesn't seem to think there's much to it: [link\|http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archive/2006/01/13/417431.aspx\|http://blogs.technet...01/13/417431.aspx] but that's what they want you to think. -- Chris Altmann

Since I don't have an iPod, a podcast is only slightly less useless than a toothache. jb4 shrub●bish (Am., from shrub* + rubbish, after the derisive name for America's 43 president; 2003) n. 1. a form of nonsensical political doubletalk wherein the speaker attempts to defend the indefensible by lying, obfuscation, or otherwise misstating the facts; GIBBERISH. 2. any of a collection of utterances from America's putative 43rd president. cf.* BULLSHIT
