Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

In a surprise settlement with the dissenting states, MS agreed to be split
into Microsoft (a software company) and Patchsoft (a patches company). Most
MS employees are applying for jobs in Patchsoft because they want to be
part of the solution, not part of the problem.
