Microsoft Longtime Windows development chief James Allchin wrote in a January 2004 e-mail to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and company co-founder Bill Gates that the software vendor had "lost sight" of customers' needs and said he would buy a Mac if he wasn't working for Microsoft. "In my view, we lost our way," Allchin, the co-president of Microsoft's platform and services division, wrote in an e-mail Jan. 7, 2004. The e-mail was presented as evidence late last week in the Iowa antitrust trial, Comes v. Microsoft. Update: Today, he wouldn't though.

This EXACT article got submitted. I don't give a rat's ass if Groklaw uncovered the email or not. User 9395 submitted this, it's a good article on a decent website, so I saw no reason to editorialise his submission.

Get over it already. Not everything I do is an anti-Groklaw conspiracy. Now PLEASE go back on topic.
