“....Microsoft was on the list....”
Bwahahahahahahahahah.
That pretty much negates the article doesn’t it?
You mean the company that has not had an original idea, evah?
The company that couldn’t design a 10 line code of basic without a bug?
The company who’s founder had to purchase the original OS from someone who actually had talent?
Got any facts to back that up? I’m not saying I agree with the list, but if you want to dispute an ethics list, how about stating some facts you can back up.
Everyone knows Microsoft has embraced and extended a lot of stuff, but to say they never had an original idea is just phony.
And that they can’t wite 10 lines of basic code without a bug...once again completely false.
There are many stories about the first OS...but I don’t recall many of them acting like it was a bad thing Microsoft did. Rather it was IBM’s inept attitude toward it that let it shake out like it did. And there’s other stories as well, but none really that blame Microsoft for IBMs lack of foresight.
