You could be correct, however, it may be that Vinod is an extremist whose is completely attempting to revolutionize Microsoft's business strategy. While quite interesting, I don't find the article incredibly incriminating; had a Linux bigot who wasn't employed by Microsoft written a similar memo, it wouldn't have attracted the huge masses of attention that this memo has simply because the general population views Vinod's opinions as somewh= at more authoritative because he's one of the thousands of people that Micrsofot employees.
