Sheesh, I feel sick... ;-) I tend to agree. The expression on his face is scary, to say the least.

This man can push IT in any direction he wants. I´m not so much scared about the fact that there´s some people completely crazy (obviously). It´s the fact that they have so much power. Look at his face in the "developers" clip, when he shakes his fist. This guy *loves* his power. He *loves* to crush the competition. He *loves* to play foul. He *loves* being "evil". And he has the power, and nobody can stop them. I am very afraid of what the future of IT might look like. Microsoft is just a mustard grain short of a position where they can make competition of *any* kind just plain impossible. That VP stuff, the whole idea of AmigaDE / AmigaOS etc. might be excellent, but I am afraid that Microsoft simply doesn´t allow for competition anymore. And dear Mr. President isn´t in a mood to break them up or put them under control, because as long as "his" USA is number one in the world, the world is fine for him. :-( Jump... #25 Ben Hermans/Hyperion Top Previous comment Next comment bottom List of all comments to this article (continued) Comment 25 Ben Hermans/Hyperion 26-Aug-2001 22:00 GMT
