I'll bet, back when the evil perps were first sitting around the conference table, possibly decked out in their magical underoos, fleshing out how they were going to make a killing on all of the Linux users out there, that there was one thing they didn't even bother to factor into their plan.

Us.

By us, I really mean the Internet. All anyone has to do is read the fantastic research that has been posted in the past couple of years, at any number of places, including gems by our resident factoid hunters, who are too numerous to mention, but whom I would like to thank collectively here for the record. Keep up the great work. This round is almost over, so keep it up. It is beyond my skills completely! I'm mostly here for pathetic attempts at comedic relief. (I know, don't quit my day job.)

I guess I just wonder if they realized how much of their misdeeds were going to be uncovered so easily. These criminals are so inept... great way to innovate, huh, Billy? It's true for trolls, too - you get what you pay for.

And the cool thing about that is that they chose such an awful vehicle for this first attempt.

I agree with everyone that M$ will try again, but this next time they won't meet a group struggling to understand court rules, promissory estoppel, SEC filings, et al.

Instead, they will have to deal with a group of addicts who have really come to enjoy scavenger hunt of tracking down odd bits and pieces of information. People who by then will be desperate for a fix and actively looking for the next scam.

Bill really knows how to shoot himself in the foot.

I strongly suspect there is a darboard at SCOX central that has all our nics on it, but that is just a guess...
