The squeaky wheel gets the oil (kind of...): More Microsoft in the news

Its kinda cool the blogs are starting to push some people's buttons (yay Ameriblog!)

Microsoft Weighs Reversal on Gay Rights, Gates Says (NYT 04272005)

SEATTLE, April 26 - Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, has indicated he may reconsider his company's decision not to support a Washington State gay rights bill amid the growing firestorm inside and outside the company that exploded after the recent disclosure that Microsoft had changed its position on the bill.

It would be such a pain in the ass for me to boycott Microsoft (as I type this blog entry using MS Internet Explorer on my PC running WinXP Pro). Don't get me wrong... I'd do it if necessary. You're talking to the same person who had an Odyssey II instead of Atari 2600 growing up as a child.

I really hope that they didn't hire Ralph Reed to put Christian messages into our software. That would really suck.
