The truley amazing thing about this is that MS is scared of someone. Just think about that for a second. The biggest software company in the world, with a monopoly on the desktop and office suite markets scared of someone. Anyone.
It makes one wonder if there is something rotten in Redmond.

Allow me to suggest a different possibility. Perhaps Microsoft's very-public "being gay is OK" slogan was scaring away talent. Perhaps the vast majority of potential employees were seeking more of a "don't ask don't tell" environment, rather than one plastered with colorful ribbons.
No. Microsoft is not going to go towards a "don't ask, don't tell" environment. I'm pretty sure they don't care about attracting the kind of talent who would be scared away by their "being gay is OK" stance. All they have done is drop out of the battle for public legislation on the issue. That doesn't mean they have changed their stance on the subject.
