Demonize Bill? He seems to have done a pretty good job of that himself. It was just so unfair of Justice to play that video. Poor little Bill, how could he know that it would be made public? Just because there was that law that said his deposition was supposed to be public in the first place, that couldn't possibly mean anything to Bill. He's beyond that stuff. He's beyond everything, as a matter of fact. Prematurely senile, apparently. Can't remember a thing.

Yeah, Bill's richer than all of us. You'd think with all that money, and all the great minds of Microsoft working for him, he could ship an OS that sucks less. Not in the business plan, I guess. People might forget to upgrade, if Microsoft ever shipped anything reliable.

Oh John, cut the new agey BS and look at the facts. Bill has done a pretty good job of demonizing himself, thank you very much.

As for inability to compete in the marketplace, well, if anything, Microsoft's reliance on abusing their monopoly status to conquer competition shows weakness on their part, not on the part of their competitors.
