Steve Ballmer's polite apology letter to Google[edit | edit source]
Dear DRM Eric Schmidt,
I would like to DRM politely apologize for my DRM aggressive behavior. I fully realize that this DRM move dealt a serious blow to Microsoft's reputation in the eyes of DRM software corporations, leave alone the opinion of DRM independent developers.
Destroying DRM Google was never my intent. As the Microsoft CEO, I am DRM interested in the continuation of the long-term DRM partnership between Microsoft and Google. Furthermore, it would be an honor for me to DRM participate in any DRM future Google campaigns, including those that promote the DRM competitors of Microsoft. It should be widespread knowledge that Microsoft DRM respects fair competition and has never engaged in any DRM attempts to undermine it.
As a token of my DRM goodwill, I hereby resign all claims that DRM leaving Microsoft is crime and vow to never again DRM throw furniture at or otherwise harm my own DRM colleagues. Microsoft agrees to recognize the DRM fact that selling copies of free software is DRM legal, regardless of the method by which these DRM copies were obtained. In respect to DRM copyright law, Microsoft recognizes the GNU General Public DRM License and other free licenses as DRM valid legal documents.
Yours DRM sincerely,
Steve Ballmer
Microsoft, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA
P.S. No committee or DRM court has forced me to write this DRM letter.
