The thing is... that might not be all that far fetched.

They tend to pollute and ruin whatever they touch.

Yahoo can't write software worth a damn either, but for the most part  
they have left flickr totally alone, which is why it is still decent.

Microsoft has a very hard time leaving anything alone, especially if  
it is currently working well.

Oh well... hopefully this year I will have pretty much everything  
moved to hosted accounts and the heck with all of them.
