He told me that I was just imagining things, that Microsoft was a good partner of IBM's.
Then Microsoft started "producing" Microsoft mice and keyboards, and when I pointed out that Microsoft was no longer just a software company, he just laughed (but it was a nervous laugh). Then a couple of years ago there was the Xbox, then Microsoft wireless networking components, and (most recently) the Microsoft home server (or whatever they call it). Each time I called him up to tell him about the new hardware that IBM's "partner" was producing and selling under Microsoft's world-famous brand. After all, what better piece of hardware to buy than one that was purposefully designed to run the software you got from Microsoft? (Apple pundits take a big breath here). Now my friend at IBM refuses to even talk to me. I think you should start saving to buy your "Microsoft TV". If you put aside $10. per week for this, in five years you will thank me for the warning.
