Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is how the things are done in the real life.

> is to laugh at the reporter

Sorry, but while I didn't laugh at the reporter I can't believe someone worked for 15 years in ME/A and didn't notice the corruption and bribes.

> do business with you

Thanks, I dont' want to do business with someone who didn't understand the comment yet responds with "Do better".

And because you need a clarification: no, I don't defend the corruption described in TFA, I just merely point out what the problem lies not in MS itself but in the modus operandi of many, many people with access to government funds.

You're a saint, and I mean that sincerely.

Anyone more down to earth would be ecstatic to conduct business with a self-professed naive individual, because the art of business is ripping someone off without pissing them off.
