If MS wasn’t around we’d be using LINUX, OS2, WordPerfect, Borland development tools, QuattroPro, Mozilla browsers and any number of similar superior products and all of those products wold be 30 years further down the road than they are now. MicroSoft is in the basic business of locking down 80% market shares with fascist marketing and 3’rd rate software

Microsoft has always been better at destroying their competition than they were at innovating anything.

 

Azure?  LOL.  I think of it as Micro$oft Virtual Picks and Shovels.   Pass the "Cumpute" Salt.

As near as I can tell, Borland never did anything wrong or made any sort of a bad move. They should be a very major company and would be other than having been steamrolled and dogged at every step and every move they ever made.

That's pretty harsh. Why did you even go to TechEd if you feel they're that bad?
