Thank you for the anecdote. The Apple has always been a comfort nook, and today look where it is. Sure, we can all hate wealthy men who profit. So what does that say about us?
This is not a defense for MS or BG, just a straight wake-upper for the zealots out there leaning any way (read: my opinion).
First, remember computing before Windows. Remember DOS.
Second, remember how Windows opened up third party options.
And lastly, remember how welcoming each and every third party vendor into Windows is also an invitation for Murphy.
I like Windows, Mac, open source. My world is a better world because of all of them.
We can't change the past, and we can't erase BG's role in it, much as we'd like to shape history to each and everyone's preference.
So the man looked like a fool.
Big deal.
Raise your hand if you've never looked like one or if you swear you never will.

Jeez. DOS = Disk Operating System POS = Point Of Sale YOU = jeez. letstartover No offense. I don't like bitches so please don't be one.
It's a perfect example. I hear and read you right between your lines. We can't shame the unshameabale, can we? (wink!)
Amen. Zealots, pls.
You obviously have no idea how the PC and Windows came about. Have you ever seen a DOS screen and that's all you have?

Boy, read up on your PC history. You're one perfect example of what I meant when I used the word zealot.
