Okay, I haven't found any confirmation of that quote, but since Mr Allchin has officially retired from Microsoft as of January 30 (Vista's debut), he is no longer a Microsoft employee and therefore free to indulge his impulse.
Boy, to go down as the man who gave birth to Vista and Windows Live... I'm not sure what to make of that as a legacy.

Noteworthy is a quote from his E-mail, wherein his fear of Linux is expressed as well.
"I must tell you everything in my soul tells me that we should do what I called plan (b) yesterday. We need a simple fast storage system. LH [Longhorn] is a pig and I don't see any solution to this problem. If we are to rise to the challenge of Linux and Apple, we need to start taking the lessons of 'scenario, simple, fast' to heart. Jim"
GAFAM traps aren't "free hosting"; they herd us all into a world of tollbooths and locks, surveillance and planned obsolescence (you own nothing, you only rent)
There are many debunkings (to likely false accusations), but won't that just be another example of Windows TCO, exacerbated externally in the form of Windows botnets?
