DownSouth, I'm SO SORRY if a little joke rekindle the love/hate of MSFT flared up. Sure, it was not all joke, but look at it from the business side of it, that is exactly what most 1st time PC buyers dreamed of: "NO COMPUTER EXPERIENCE REQUIRED". The gamers, the Mom and Pop who needs a little bit of 'computing power' are the perfect customers. That carried MSFT a long... long way and now with the money it garnered, MSFT is entering the "COMPUTER EXPERIENCE REQUIRED" arena and people(Microsoftie) want the 'how-it-all-started erased from memory'. WHY!!! I believe the "NO COMPUTER EXPERIENCE REQUIRED" side of business is still a 'cash cow' of MSFT, not necessary the 'glamourous'. Do you know that most company do not not have this luxury? OK,OK, microsoftie don't want anybody know 'how-it-all-got-started'? I'M SORRY. HELP ME AND OTHERS WHO ARE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO FORGET EVERYTHING YET. PLEASE REWRITE HISTORY. You guys are so unfair, just like Clinton, want us to forget and not talk about something that we are forced to know but for some reason the microsoftie and Clintonites didn't want people to remember. There is nothing wrong 'MSFT' start from selling 'General Protection Fault' OS and make it big. There is nothing wrong with Clinton having a little fun(probably a lot of fun in his life time, we don't know how much or how little), at least that's what "everyone" else voting say. I would not accept that 'tv-picture' of Clinton 'finger-waggin' and told us ..."I did not have sex.....". Ok, make some (or a lot of) money, but be ready and willing to have some fun with history(not fiction). I don't get it. Most people who made it big would be proud of how low they started and 'brag' about it how they work its way up. MSFT/Microsoftie is different, at least some of the posters behave that way. I hope these are not the 'majority' of microsoftie/MSFT. In Chinese proverb, this is called: "enjoying/drinking water but forget(intentionally) how it was started", or something like that. It's VERY VERY BAD BAD BAD. Then of course, some of those kind of people are from very 'low and dirty' background so there are something to hide. I don't know about Clinton. But I don't see MSFT have something to hide. MSFT entered the kind of market at the very best time and what was wrong with that (NO COMPUTER EXPERIECE REQUIRED) !!!!! Whatever it works to make money is all it counts, right!!! Are you trying to justify the 'huge money making machine' to be worht that much? DONT, NO NEED TO. Life isn't always fair. Just take and keep the money and don't feel bad about it.
