Personally, I think Microsoft is a damn good Company, with good product, =
er um, except the latest "Trip Planner" (slow as all get out). =
Otherwise, I am very happy with Microsoft. As for Bill Gates, he is =
perhaps the greatest visionary of this century.=20

To say you are going to attempt to destroy Microsoft is an embarrassment =
to you and those like you. You don't have a clue what you are talking =
about. All you know is what sounds good from an end users point of view. =
Bill Gates started from nothing, finding bugs for an ancient computer =
company and eventually built Microsoft. And believe me it was through =
hard work and determination.=20

So they've stepped on other companies. SO what! Deal with it. This is =
America, where business is tough and dog eat dog. Who cares what they =
have done or not done. You, as is most of us, are so far removed from =
the realities of the top boardrooms that you speak from rumor, innuendo =
and ignorance. We know what they want us to know, from an end user point =
of view. Nothing more. And you make these loud declarations that you are =
going to destroy Microsoft. Indeed, Bill Gates would crush you like a =
bug. The arrogance of you to think that your importance is even a =
consideration. Microsoft doesn't give a damn about you and me. Their =
concern, like all businesses is to make money.=20

I realize it's fun to sit around and write newsgroups, but for =
goshsakes, think before you talk.
