No, I confused you with someone else, that was my mistake, sorry.
1. Uninitiated is a better word. 5 years ago, I was "stupid", as you claim the public is. Times teach you what is important. As a result, the consuming public may learn that. Unless MSFT prevents it.
2. The graphics answer is: they are intimidated. That is why they are trying to break into 3D and marginalize SGI. That will give them leverage against AAPL, who they already have the inside track on.
As long as MSFT can disable technology (and believe me, they do it all the time), the consumer loses. Because that opens the table to MSFT technology.
As for Java and Linux. Linux will be successful as long as the "Halloween" memo doesn't come to fruition (and it may) and MSFT can marginalize it. Java is okay, but it is (agreed) slow and buggy. But it is improving and all MSFT clones of this technology sucks. Part of Java's problems, don't forget, is the MSFT disabling factor. |
