One Gates quote and a few great comments

"Google by a lot of criteria is probably at the top of the list. They're in this honeymoon phase of, Google can do anything at all times. If it was rumored they were doing pizza, you'd think it was going to be zero calories and free."

-- Bill Gates, in a wide-ranging interview with the Mercury News, says Microsoft's foremost competitor has a lot to learn about married life.

Microsoft pizza, on the other hand, is only available with spoiled cheese, ketchup sauce and cardboard-flavored crust, and shows up at your door even though you didn't order it.

Gates should stop giving interviews. I think the reasons why are obvious.

Don't forget that MS pizza is full of bugs. Bill delivers the pizza, points a gun at your head and says "pay up". Soon after Bill leaves, a phisher comes and steals your wallet.

the reason that google is so much better than microsoft is that google does not have a married life. google is like isaac newton : the eternal virgin whose ability to think and create and invent and discover has not been perverted subverted or otherwise contaminated by marriage.

What? You don't like anchovies on your pizza? Something fishy here . . . That google has the true pulse of what the technology sector wants is in direct conflict what Gates delivers. (i.e., what he wants to give it . . ) Free, is of course the operative word here, and no, we don't honor coupons for that pizza . . . .

Don't forget, you don't actually OWN MS Pizza, you merely license it. Then again, that's ok. That's similar to what you do with beer.
