Well, here's something I didn't know :-)

What are these guys smoking?

From http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19908-2000May6.html:

"Ballmer hopes to build Microsoft's new identity partly around a computing
language known as XML. Invented several years ago by two Microsoft
technologists, it allows easy exchange of information among different
devices, across the Internet."

XML isn't even a computing language, whatever the hell that is. I gave them
an earful (I think... I just sent a blind email since I couldn't find a
contact email address ANYWHERE... at least their consitant with their
irresponsibility).

Holding back,
