A magazine recently ran a "Dilbert quotes" contest. They were looking for people to submit quotes from their real-life dilbert-type managers.

Winning quote from Fred Dales, MS Corp Redmond

"As of tomorrow, employees will only be able to access the building using individual security cards. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday and employees will receive their cards in two weeks."

Could this be the reason why Longhorn is delayed. Except that it is in years instead of weeks.
