today.

So let's try King's Cross instead.

I will perhaps never understand why so many companies do so.

They are promoting and boosting sales of a product of another company,
for free.

What company promotes the product of another company absolutely for free?
Apparently Microsoft is in a privileged position where thousands and
thousands of other companies do so. Microsoft doesn't have to pay a cent
for free promotion.

It seems a lot of humans believe that Microsoft is the only company 
producing operating systems, office software, Internet browsers, email 
clients...

You can wake up now, Jim. They have all gone home and left the grapes.

What part of "So the direction reverses." do you not understand?
It is John's turn.

Sorry. I was waiting for Jim to make his move. I thought we were playing
The Standard Metropolitan Rules, not the Inverse Tudor Court ones.

It is the Kerfuffle variant of the Metropolitan Rules as defined in the 
rule book (page 49, para 3, sub. 3.14, as you know). The Inverse Tudor 
Court rules are a bit pernickety for an alien. Or a Grue, for that matter.
