I say i hate him because he is a control monger...a tyrant...a greedy arrogant
law breaking geek whose software sucks. don't tell me that with the multi
hundreds of billions out there that without microsuace, we would not have what
we have today...make me laugh. What i hate most about that company and that
CEO is that they want the public to accept their crappy software or nothing
(and their crappy browser, too), and they have gone to great lengths to quash
innovation and competing products that would give us more for less. Hence, the
antitrust action.
if you think clinton is a perjurer, have you heard the testimony of the
microsoft people including gates....impeach them all!
Anyway, this is a thread that we better kill or it will surely get out of
hand. The pro-bill and anti-bill positions have now been stated.
