Ron Davies said, in part:
Interesting note in the Wall St Journal recently. A CEO mused on why Microsoft insists on buying computer security firms, rather than taking any responsibility to try to fix its own security problems itself, which would be a refreshing change.
This is in the very genes of MacroHype: The company's start in life was purchasing someone else's work. They bought DOS, their start in life, ddn't develop it themself, and look how successful THAT was!
