    Here's a Bible verse this Microsoft individual should acquaint himself with:

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.biblegateway.com&#x2F;verse&#x2F;en&#x2F;Matthew%207%3A5" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.biblegateway.com&#x2F;verse&#x2F;en&#x2F;Matthew%207%3A5

    Whether religious or not, the verse applies to anyone and everyone making such statements from the position of companies like Microsoft. I&#x27;ll quite the KJV version &#x27;cause that one lends itself well to situations like these. Read it with a booming thunder-loaded voice:

    And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother&#x27;s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

    Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother&#x27;s eye.

      What is meant by &quot;beam&quot; in this quotation? A splinter of wood?
