Here's an interesting article about MS. It's a rant about Microsoft but an interesting one that provides quite some background about the everybody's favorite company of all times.

WE ARE MICROSOFT. LOWER YOUR FIREWALLS AND SURRENDER. WE WILL ADD YOUR TECHNOLOGICAL DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE."

Not a bad read.

If you are interested in more of the history you take a look at Triumph of the Nerds . It is three hours long and has interviews with Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Steve Jobs. It was released in 1996 by PBS but it is worth watching.

LOL

 

I didn't see that part, yet

I have only read the first chapter but found it quite interesting.

I'll be reading the rest of the chapters when I have the time.

 

I know a friend who has (I think) Triumph of the Nerds. Guess I'll have to request his couch for three hours, since my DVD player is (still ) region-locked.
