Pete:

Only difference between your position and mine is - that
you are convinced what the masses want and need, and I am
not.

Linux with its compact kernel - bah! I need to pull out my
June 1976 BSTJ to see how much Unix weighed then. Bloat is
pervasive. Compare "vim" to "vi".

BTW, Is WordStar your bread-and-butter word processor ? If
the answer is yes, then I end my arguments herewith. Very
respectfully.

Regards
Dinesh

All the major Microsoft "innovations" were either bought from some one else or stolen. Microsoft Basic (stolen from MITS), MS-DOS (bought from Seattle Micro), Xenix (bought from SCO), Windows (stolen from GEM or from Xerox PARC), and Excel (stolen from Lotus now IBM).

Don't forget Stac Electronics, whose disk compression method was ripped off with MSDOS 6.1 or so and who won a judgment against Microsoft.
