Microsoft Disses Google: Quelle Surprise!

Essentially, Rizzo says that Google just throws stuff out there, sees if it sticks and then only continues to develop and support those pieces of software which customers actually want to use.

Unfortunately, I’ve also forgotten my login/pw for that original profile, but after a while, I figured it out.
