Microsoft paying Google for MSNBC?

How f*cked up and behind the curve do you have to be to use Google Earth on
your own broadcasting network?

Now, Clinton,

If Microsoft employees only used Microsoft products to get the job done,
wouldn't you think that they lacked imagination and creativity? I've worked
with quite a few Microsoft employees, and they, just like any good
developer, use whatever tools will do the best job to fulfill the given
requirements the most efficiently within the time and resource constraints
they are given.

You'd be surprised at how much non-Microsoft software they use. Of course,
they use mostly Microsoft software, as do I, but my tool kit isn't exactly
"pristine" either! ;-)

Yes, we're all in agreement, use a tool developed by somebody else -- when
you do not have a tool of your own -- but using Google Earth on a
broadcasting network that one may presume attracts millions of viewers is a
tacit acknowledgement that Virtual Earth is a POS.

Of course, Clinton! So was Microsoft's attempt to buy Google awhile back!
