get off microsoft’s case.

I’m sorry to have to vent here but i’m getting pissed off. the whole doj vs Microsoft is really ridiculous. its another show that the gov’t sees that people are starting to make money the old-fashioned way and the lobbyists that oppose the business, and that give the money to finance our leaders’ drug habits, and want in on the action.

Microsoft is doing business the good way and the real and only way to do it. CRUSH YOUR OPPONENT!! they have the ability, the know-how and the resources to this. so be it. this just pushes people to make better products. that’s why i like a majority of Microsoft products, they are consistently making a product better. boo-hoo Netscape and their allies are just taking the easy way out of providing quality products. piss and moan and cause a ruckus, that’s all that they have done to this day.

At this point the most cost-effective way for a business to succeed is to get the customers. so why not make a kickass product ? don’t whine about how their product is integrated or whatever. all this time that they have been whining they could have been focusing on their product and making it better.

I would gladly switch to Netscape if it had a better browser, but it doesn’t and it won’t if it takes its focus off of what its doing. sure you may say that Microsoft has more manpower, so then be creative, be innovative, be original. do something that is unexpected, on a whim. you never know what will happen.

Well sorry to have subjected you to this but it needed to be said…

thanx
