New Speaking of Ed Curry
There is someone I respect who I believe died because he got in the way of Microsoft corporate policy.

Certainly the lengths that they went to to discredit him and guarantee that he wouldn't work because he wouldn't lie for them would be shocking from anyone else.

For me that alone would stand out, even if Microsoft hadn't done everything else it has done.

New Speaking of Ed Curry...again
If you recall, Most if not ALL of my e-mails have an entry for Ed Curry. As do all of these posts.

I shall never...NEVER forgive or forget what Microsoft did to that HONEST man and his family.
