>MS is doomed in my opinion. A change is near to impossible. The company culture has evolved negatively in the recent years. This is now a general HR issue. People attitudes at work. At all levels of the corporation. Ask GM or Ford why their cars are... Not Toyotas or even Renaults.

You touched a nerve here. I visited Renault's website a couple of years ago, and got quite sentimental over how they look. It's so charming and refreshing, compared with the cars here including the Japanese, German and Korean cars, which are all styled to please the US market, and thus all look the same. Megane is just sooooooo different, and I remember Twingo with nostalgy.
