18 Years in Software Tools, an Insider's View

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the learning-from-history dept.

calumtdalek writes "Newsforge (Also owned by VA) has an article on a talk given by Rico Mariani, an eighteen-year veteran at Microsoft, in which he speaks to the University of Waterloo Computer Science Club, sharing his unique take on the history of, and controversies surrounding, Microsoft and the industry in general. Particularly illuminating are his responses to advocates of free/open-source software. The talk can also be download from the csclub's media server"

    Why did you bother linking to the article on Newsforge when your summary of it was the entire article? I'm getting sick of all these summaries on Slashdot being nothing more than the first paragraph from the linked article. How hard is it to read the article and write a f#%@*n summary?

    I'm done with my rant, you can go back to whatever you were doing now.
