I might be one of the few who doesn't hate MS. Yeah, I know they screwed their way to the top. All of their OS's are unstable. They charge way too much. They create their own standards on top of the industry. Yep, they are the 5 billion ton gorilla with a huge target on their back. But, like them or not, they haven't had any real competition. No one has tried to compete with the WinTel duopoly. Mac's are way too expensive for most people, which takes Apple out of the race. Linux? What? Joe Public isn't smart enough with computers to use it. So you are left with the defacto desktop standard, Windows.
Alright Algore. Where are ya? You invented this thing and Kofi wants you to give it up.
On a serious note, the UN will kill the internet. Just kill it. Do we really need another power hungry politician running something they don't understand?
