Insanity.
Because insanity is that mindset and resulting action or inaction that
destroys others on the greatest scale. Hitler, Hussein, Gates, Blobmer...
Idiots argue microsoft gave us computing. Oh, the computing that someone
else would have done anyway? That computing?
Someone else *may* have come this close to destroying the planetary
networking to emerge out of the mainframes of Darpa, universities, and
military communications research.
But microsoft beat them to it. |

Monopoly. They're nearly a textbook case. Most monopolies charge high
prices and have low quality. The price MS charges PC makers for Windows
is fairly cheap, but the quality still suffers. Even though no
enhancements have been made to it for ten years, I'd say that OS/2 is
still technologically superior to Windows Vista.
