here is a paragraph from the microsoft 2004 annual report

[Zscoundrel]

The part I love is when they say  "converting original ideas into 
software products".  They do not really do that.  They buy (or steal) 
software from other firms and then coerce them into signing contracts 
with non-disclosure clauses so they can CLAIM it is their own work. . .

Sheesh!
