The Web puts miscarriage before the horse zdnet.com Back in a less serious vein, this one takes on everyone. I got to quote the bits on Bill for Sal, though, since Machiavelli comes up. Perhaps not wanting to beat a dead Trojan horse, Gates himself has not been as belligerent as you might expect. Sure, he got his digs in with a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece that was posted on Microsoft's site. But if his personal Web site can be believed, Gates is more interested in being Leonardo da Vinci than Machiavelli. Of course, his "Other Interests" page hasn't been updated since January, so he may have since picked up some new hobbies- like world domination. And then there's that telling column called "Laying a foundation for human history." In it, Gates praised Jared Diamond's book Guns, Germs, and Steel for its thesis that "the often-tragic failure of other races to resist expansion by other peoples was largely a matter of bad luck." Does this mean that Microsoft's response to a vanquished foe would simply be: "Tough"? Nah, I vote for the Tamerlane response. Cheers, Dan.
