| 1351956 | 2013-08-24 20:37:00 | Hmmm.... "what began as a lean competition machine led by young visionaries of unparalleled talent has mutated into something bloated and bureaucracy-laden, with an internal culture that unintentionally rewards managers who strangle innovative ideas that might threaten the established order of things." No. What began as excellent timing and a brilliant piece of sneakiness - that is, IBM wanting an O/S, BG buying it and then leasing it out.... Thus began the companies history of copying other peoples products or buying them. They never had the ideas in the first place themselves, and tended to always dismiss other ideas....well it got them in the end. |

| 1351960 | 2013-08-24 23:37:00 | MS is admirable at achieving their goal - transferring wealth from the clients as fast as possible to the head charlatan. The product is merely a tool for squeezing the herd. Their modus operandi differs from Apple, but their goals are identical. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
