As you know, I have been trying to get everyone in the free world to look at the software we have built, i.e. ActiveWords, http://www.activewords.com
One of our investors was talking to a woman friend who was bragging about the fact that her son worked at Microsoft.
He told her about our stuff, and she said, "I am sure he would be interested!" That was on Wednesday, today I got an E-Mail back from her, which said:
"I did not forward your e.mail to my son.
After speaking to him on the telephone, he told me as a MS employee he is not permitted to look at software ideas of another person."
Maybe the reasons that operating systems suck is that they follow the same script as in the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", when you close your eyes for a moment, you are converted into a zombie.
