i'd have to disagree with both of you. microsoft has done loads of good in
getting us where we are with computers now, but the amount of our lives
that microsoft controls every day is increasing. bill gates has plans to
integrate all of your houshold appliances, and that's scary. imaging having
even MORE of your life controlled by microsoft. there is a point when they
should stop, because eventually your entire life will be controlled by
microsoft. you'll live in a microsoft house. in it, you'll have a microsoft
refrigerator with microsoft butter that you will spread on your microsoft
bread. ask yourself: how far should they go?
