If operating systems ran airlines:
DOS Airline: Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again, then push again, jump on again and so on.
DOS with QEMM Airline: The same thing but with more leg room to push.
Windows Airline: The airport terminal is nice and colorful, with friendly stewards and stewardesses,easy access to the plane, an uneventful takeoff...then the plane blows up without any warning
whatsoever.
NT Airline: Everyone marches out on the runway, says the password in unison, and forms the outline of an airplane. Then they all sit down and make a whooshing sound like they're flying.
The Microsoft Tax
ncplus.com
Microsoft, through its superb marketing prowess, has conveniently created a market of hundreds of millions of users for software developers. Unfortunately,Microsoft's development skills are far exceeded by its marketing talent. As a result,developers such as myself have to pay a type of tax to Microsoft in order to access
this market. This tax is paid in actual dollars spent purchasing Microsoft products,without which we could not even begin to develop genuinely useful work, and time wasted on figuring out brain damaged APIs as well as getting around actual bugs in the operating system and the tools Microsoft provides.
