It is a fascinating document, especially now that Microsoft
acknowledges its authenticity.  But beware; they're anything
but stupid out in Redmond, and more than a few of us have
been wondering if this "leak" wasn't some form of triple-
reverse psychology somehow related to the DoJ suit...

 (It still makes excellent reading - don't miss it.)
