I find it interesting that while Microsoft has offices and employees in virtually every country on the planet, he considers it to be an American company because "it pays taxes here" but IBM is not an American company because of the number of employees it has around the world.

Just another example of cognitive dissonance, I guess.

IBM has more employees in China and India than Microsoft does worldwide, yet Microsoft is much more profitable. Of course, you don't care, so long as you get free downloads.

I think that if IBM were to allow TSCOG to survive, it would send a *VERY* wrong signal ........
