For a year, Daniel Feussner lived an extravagant life. He bought a Ferrari, a Hummer, diamond rings — and the crown jewel, a 51-foot yacht. The young Microsoft manager was so proud of his possessions he displayed them on a personal Web page. | ||

| It is not that they pay for there own software, but employees are able to purchase software, (at most paying for media cost of $5-$25 for any package). It is labeled as NFR some times, (normal the employee who gets it does this) and is simular to the packages that MS gives away at events or for Surveys. There are some limits, but management has the ablitity to over-ride current limits. |

Actually it sounds as though... let's say your department needs to use Visio, you put in a request for 20 copies of Visio and they just go out to the warehouse and bring back 20 boxes of Visio with cds and everything.
He placed orders for thousands of such items, and then sold them on ebay. |

#2 ...Actually he is selling NFRs. When I purchased my MS WINNT Server 4.0 w/ 10 user license, I only paid $49 ( I think ...been a while). Can you imagine selling copies of Visio ...let say the price is $25, and selling it more than that price, but still less than the actually street price.
By the way, the price of NFR software doesn't range between $5 - $25. It depends on the type of application that you're purchasing. I bought Visual Studio Enterprise for $99. NFRs are the same one that you purchase in computer stores; except the bar code has NFR on it. There are no limits. ...and according to the article, the software came from NY, and that's where all mine came from. |

"Feussner, director of retrieval technology, was in charge of the search engines at Microsoft.com...."
Hmmm... maybe that's why it's easier to find stuff on Microsoft's site by using Google rather than using their own search engine--this guy was too busy with his other "activities." |

"maybe that's why it's easier to find stuff on Microsoft's site by using Google rather than using their own search engine"
So maybe search.microsoft.com will become useful soon? |

I notice "The Girl" link is mysteriously absent... maybe the women saw through this guy easier than Microsoft did? :)
Just when "Blind Date" had destroyed my faith in humanity, something like this rekindles it, if just a little.... |

bas - I'm sorry, the joke was in poor taste. You'll have to trust me when I say that it was a mistake of the head or of the mouth, not of the heart.
*wink* :-) |
