I forgot

I was gonna pity Microsoft, as they have been having a rough time of things these days. I mean, it seams like very few people voluntarily made the move to Vista, big news there. The Zune has not taken off as it was expected to, and the X-Box is the least reliable piece of gaming hardware in the history of gaming hardware (I think)
And then these two gems:
"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Users of Microsoft Corp's Sidekick mobile phone may have permanently lost data such as contacts, photos and calendar entries due to the failure of a Microsoft server computer."
Ouch!
But that's not all:
"SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp said on Monday that passwords belonging to some users of its Hotmail email service were exposed on an Internet site, but had since been taken down.

The company did not say how many users were affected, but some reports suggested that passwords to more than 10,000 accounts were exposed."

Something tells me that Microsoft is suffering from G.M. itis, where a company gets too big and spread out too thin trying to make a buck in too many places that balls get dropped. No problem if the balls in question are for ping pong, a much bigger concern if they are for bowling...
