Take away their operating system monopoly and Microsoft is a bunch of
clueless thugs without an original idea in their heads. The 'real story' is
how they do so little with so much and the relentlessly negative impact
they've had on personal computing. While Bill-ionaire Gates was building a
monument to his overblown ego, Jim Clark - for 10% of what Gates spent on
his house! - turned the Internet into the hottest thing in computing. Gates
and company slept through that one and the notion that they are particularly
smart or plugged in is patently absurd.
