Oh cool! Some of my code has been sold to Microsoft! Wow!
You know, I had this idea the other day: Write a really cool package
intending it to be targeted by Microsloth. Make it perfect and
bugless; develop a decent, happy, user base; begin negotiations with
Microsoft at the same time as you begin throwing in bugs and coding
practice; finish sale to microsoft selling them the current code set;
when they release the next version, full of bugs (like you really
needed add any to make this happen), exclaim to the public that when
the project was under your control no versions were ever released with
the major bugs that Microsoft must have introduced...
Repeat as necessary. (heck the cash alone from this is worth it).
