Right, Sal, first we have the "Gang of Five" conspiracy against Microsoft, as documented by ACSA, including impeachable offenses by Janet Reno and the Greater Bill's golf partner, and now we have the Java conspiracy too, with those evil IT guys set on wrestling control of all those freedom giving PC's from the proletariat. Nobody's supposed to think about how much money gets sunk into the Windows experience. So, did Scott McNealy kill Vince Foster?
Of course, I'd say that's sort of the problem with business in the '90's, nobody much thinks they have any responsibility to the customer, but I guess Bill set the trend there with the extensive support offered with Windows. "Have you tried reformatting and reinstalling?" Hey, but IE is "free forever", what more could you ask for? What ever happened to old Tom Peters, TQM and all that jazz? Just bad business, I guess.
Cheers, Dan. |
