    Default Developer Claims Microsft Fired Them for Refusing to Git Down

    Here's something you don't hear every day:

    EIM, once one of the largest Microsoft distributor in Israel, claims that Microsoft sponsored a cruise for its Israeli and and Turkey distributors. On this cruise they claim there were women paid by Microsoft to have sex with the guests, activity that was encouraged by Microsoft staff. Also in this alleged party Microsoft representatives encouraged participants to use what looked like illegal substance.

    According to the claim, EIM’s personnel refused to participate in the drug and sex party which caused Microsoft to cancel their agreement and terminate their distributor license [...] Microsoft refused to comment about the sex party allegation

    Now, I know what you're thinking—a giant software monopoly offers you sex an drugs, and the problem is? By way of contrast, Microsoft is claiming that it terminated EIM's contract for fraudulent sales statements. Much less sexy, if true.

    Microsoft says that it terminated its relations with EIM because of incorrect reports about software sales by EIM. Microsoft accused EIM of "clear fraud".

    Maybe it is because they were Eunuch's and don't have the equipment to actually own up to committing fraud.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Lol, I bet Microsoft 'leaked' these news on purpose, just to entice more talented nerd programmers to work for them, and not for companies like Apple or movements like the free and open-source Linux, Firefox, etx fanatics. Just imagine: how can any nerd resist??

    The truth is that EIM had developed a Microsoft crack.
