Tell me anything of Microsoft that is NOT Bought out or copied!
Former Sun Microsystems chief executive Scott McNealy
"Microsoft never produced technology except by buying it, Name one thing they've ever invented on their own? Seriously, name one! If you think of any, send me an e-mail, and I'll research it to find out who they bought it from.... R&D [research and development] and M&A [mergers and acquisitions] are the same thing over there."
