In 1989, when, for example, Marc Andreessen was maybe a high school freshman, and only a few academics knew what the Internet was, I started reading UNIX magazines, because I just took my first UNIX job after years working w/ PDP-10s, Vaxes, etc. I was initially struck by all the whining Scott McNealy did about Bill Gates. You couldn't find one of these magazines without a McNealy/MicroSoft tirade!
Now, nearly 10 years later, UNIX hasn't changed, McNealy hasn't changed, the tech world has changed a lot, Gates is 50 times richer than he was, and so is MSFT, and I'm working on NT (thank God).
Maybe McNealy should stop whining and get off his butt.
