I recall, in my odd way, criticism of Bob Fosse. People were apalled that he spent 25 minutes on his own death in the semi-autobiographical "ALL THAT JAZZ". Some lone sane voice at the time said; If it had been me, I wouldn't have shown that much restraint, or some such.
People love to taunt the 500-pound gorilla, and Microsoft is definitely that. If I was the richest man in the world, and if I was Bill Gates, I would have almost definitely bought the six lots adjoining Larry Ellison's and the four adjoining Steve Jobs house and built an edifice large enough to block out the sun, but I digress...
Microsoft (and this is coming from a mac guy, mind you) has built the most amazing INTEGRATED suite of software ever developed. Even better is the fact that most of it actually works.
Did they break the law? I think so. Did they use their muscle to deep six no less than five companies? Yes. Are they going to change? No.
As we watch this decision overturned and gutted, and as we see linux gradually nibble away and eventually topple the giant; many of us will look to the late nineties as a golden age. A time when it was easy.
We won't need to worry about Microsoft becoming the Genom Corporation of our world. Innovation brought them here, and innovation will take them out.
Odds say that no matter what you plan, you will probably change majors six or seven times. Declaring a major in your freshman year is usually a waste of your time. Use your first year for General Education credits, hang out with CS & CE guys, and see where it leads.
The MCT I know with all the development experience, the one that makes the most money, he was a history major who like to program for fun.
Good Luck!

Yes but NT is probably the only mature server OS Microsoft has, and they only took several years to get there...
I think 5.
Verizon.net does not use PPPoE. My $49 a month connection and my $69 router work great for my mixed network (Linux, OS X, Win 2k, and Win 98.
for $69 I can get a 384/384 synchronous ADSL, and it gets installed in less than ten days...
I will admit things sucked a few months ago, but we are getting better!

Sounds pretty funny, doesn't it...
