Mr. Bill...

I agree with Scott McNealy from Sun Microsystems that the world will show a significant dip in productivity from 1995 to about 2015 due to Microsoft products.

I am SO GLAD that I've become a system administrator for myself and my family. Can't think of anything better to waste my time than to constantly have to maintain watch over my family and friends computers instead of doing something worthwhile. I really like the idea of getting a new version and debugging it for that goddam millionaire.

Having been part of the PC industry, I saw Mr. Bill up close and personal during several Government bids...yes....government bids where Mr. Bill said "bid Microsoft products or be shut out of the bidding". I personally saw the ways and means he used to shut out Netscape, Wordperfect, Corel Sun and others. Bid it his way...price $100.
bid any other bids with anybody else, price $200. Pretty nasty monopolist...

Nobody at Justice to take Mr. Bill on anymore if they want to keep their jobs.
He even bought McNealy out after they put him on the ropes...made him shut up too.

Mr. Michael Dell isn't far behind...no less ruthless except he plays in the shadows.
