Now, now... I have Microsoft "Natural" Keyboards on some of my home PCs,
yes, they look as ugly as #$%^ but they are very comfortable to type on.
This is why a few years ago when there was talk of what sort of penalty
Microsoft should get for their anti-trust violations I was of the view that
they should have been made a pure hardware company as that would have made
the world a slightly better (if uglier looking) place :-) .

I figure if Microsoft made it's own microprocessor it would have a lot of
nice (marketing driven) features and then one or two bizarre/insane quirk(s)
that would cause anyone with half a brain to be tearing their hair out.
