Henry Ford was an inventor. Bill G is a hack who didn't
care if his company broke the law, who stole other
people's technology in a bad faith execution of a good
faith clause in a contract and who's entire "innovation"
portfolio was a drive to "addict" people to his products,
squashing real innovation and competition.
No one in their right mind thinks that Microsoft products
are great or that Microsoft is a great company.
Where I am proud of Bill G is his newfound philanthropy
after proving his uselessness as Chief of Software or
whatever it was.
The real geniuses are the two guys that invented and
marketed the PC. More than thirty years later, markets
move on rumours or if the one that's still working gets a
cough, or worse.
You asked what I thought.
