As opposed to ideas thought up by oxidised daisies? 

"Federated's sponsorship boutique built a lovely bespoke website on Microsoft's behalf to contain the quotes and disseminate the idea, which was thought of by a person."

Eh? Is this because Redmond has some giant idea producing wonder-machine running "Windows Vista A.I. edition" and we need it pointed out to us that it wasn't thought up by this but by 'a person'? If it is we should be told, at once, without delay, I.... oh... the pills are kicking in again... lovely.

He's actually championing the people ready intiative... 

I believe that you’re all wrong, JB is infact embracing "people ready" and taking it to a new "Interfacing" level, specifically the time honoured "sit and swivel" something I fear he'll be doing a lot of in the future ;)

You are clearly infringing a Microsoft patent... 

...but we aren't going to tell you which one (in case you cite your Diamond Service as prior art and make us a laughing stock).

Just pay us for the infringement and we'll say no more about it...

Would you had been greedy Vultures and filed a business method patent on your Diamond service. The Microsoft royalties would have provided a lifetime beer endowment.
