features thats why so many people use it.... And like it or not M$ is good at marketing what its got no matter how crappy. Moreover MS is the company that over the years has made the least amount of bad business decisions.
That's true; MS is _really_ good at marketing. But if you like management speak, I'd say MS successfully marketed bad decisions. They scrapped entire OSs!
So take the good from M$ and Windoze rather than just bash it...
You get what you deserve, so if MS gets bashed every now and then, perhaps it deserves to be bashed.
I mean Lotus made mistakes IBM did ..
I'd really like to know the mistakes Lotus did. IMHO Lotus was eons ahead of it's time. Look at what Ray Ozzie is trying to do with groove; you'll get a picture :).
This also goes with the GNU project, what FSF will do today WILL be the order of the day in a say 7-10 years from now.
