Call it whatever you want, I don't want to call it anything. I'm just realistic.

I am not advocating anything, I only want to tell how big companies work. Do Ford look at GM for new features? Of course not, they just happen to think alike. Are Microsoft listening to and looking for input? Of course, but don't expect them confess anything than the official story. That's the way it has always been, and that's not going to change.
