Advertising sucks

Here is the problem, in bits and bytes. Says Kevin Johnson of Microsoft:

Microsoft has done a value chain analysis and decided to invest in research and development and organic growth in some areas, and combine that with assets it has acquired, primarily small companies. "Our focus is bringing together the assets we've created in the organization, combined with assets we acquire, to create a world-class advertising platform," he said.

Who wants an advertising platform? Do you, well it will cost you anywhere from $20 to $200 to buy that advertising platform from Microsoft Corporation. Good luck, Enjoy. I don't like it, and I won't buy it.
