There is a leaked e-mail originating from Bill Gates that provides a fascinating view into the upper echelons of Microsoft. Just reading Bill's frustration gave me some amount of kinship to the man. It reminds me of some of the rants against Microsoft I've left here on this board from time to time. Best of all its good to see that Bill doesn't believe all of his own propaganda.
The e-mail is here:

Scroll down to the bottom of the pdf to get to Bill's originating e-mail.
