From: Steven Sinofsky < Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 11:15 AM To: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: Re: It isn't like that for me. Here's some new data. Got unsolicited mail "employee survey out--results show how much people don't like Steve and miss you. Tons of verbatim comments." They just want to erase me. We watched the "Lost Interview of Steve jobs" (Reed Hastings sent mail telling me to watch). Jobs points out that apple was in trouble and Sculley basically decided all troubles came from Jobs. Jobs said Sculley had no vision. Well he did..his vision was to remain CEO. Reed wasn't kidding about the parallels. All I have are my ideas. They have gone to great lengths to foreclose me working (agreement and bill at samsung). They have gone to great lengths to trash me (ny times). But they can't take my ideas that have nothing to do with Microsoft. I've done nothing. There's nothing they can point to that i did that disparaged or solicited or otherwise. Even the guy that got offered a CEO job was already on the headhunters list. The way I see it is that they have made it clear what they are worried about. More than anything it is what I say. But I am going to talk about our industry. If reporters want to connect what I say to what Steve does i can't stop them. Their alternative is that I say whatever I want. Since I will work for a competitor in some way (even a startup that writes iPhone apps) their concerns about what I say only get worse. Any job i get means I become a critic of Microsoft. They must be confused. Ironically working at apple or google would have been better for them in that regard since i would be more dignified. Plus they want non compete, non-solicit, and cooperation. All I ask in return is money. But they can't buy silence about the workings of our industry or how management works. I see this as me having the cards now. You got this to more money. That's great. It still isn't enough for me to be in a cave. I won't work at those companies. I won't be critical or positive about Microsoft. I will help them when they are in legal trouble. I won't get people who want to quit jobs. So it isn't fuck off. We are at a spot where they are getting a ton. If it isn't enough it gets way worse and i don't even have to be a bad guy.

I know what you are saying. I know what he is saying. But I am not going to be accused of disparagement by omission or allegory. I suppose the option is that I skip the agreement and am much clearer about Microsoft and about what I think.
