The only person who seems obsessed with other people's misery is you Roy
Schestowitz.
Nobody is denying Microsoft is laying off people.
Big deal.
So is IBM.
It is sad though that you, Roy Schestowitz, take some kind of weird
pleasure in watching people lose their job.
I suppose coming from a welfare case like you, jobless and sponging off web
hits and pay for SPAM income it's no surprise.
I don't know if you believe in karma, but I do and I'll tell you something
Schesotiwtz, what goes around comes around.
You'll get yours sooner or later.
Oh yea, here you are squealing like a swine about it:
