You know simplicity pays. A good example would be E=MC^2.
Microsoft "innovative" version would be about 20 pages.


Yep. I've seen NT compared to a Piper Cub and a 747 all rolled into one. "One size fits all," as they say.

Whether Larry can pull off his latest anti-Microsoft crusade, though, is another question. I sense a very strong similarity between this scheme and his NC kick last year. That one fizzled. We'll see if this one does any better.

That's not to say, however, that everything is honkey-dorey with NT, because it certainly isn't:

forbes.com

It's basically a question of whether Microsoft can even get NT 5.0 out the door: getting all those 35 million lines of code to work together, and then pray to God DOJ doesn't force them to re-write it.

I wonder if they would have these problems if NT were open source.
