In any case, I read the original and the english translation and actually have to say that Bill Gates doesn't sound like the anti-christ here, he sounds like a businessman. Us hacker types get very offended by bugs and consider robust software to be more attractive than whiz-bang software with lots of new features, but Microsoft isn't marketing to us hacker types. It's marketing to 50 million sheep and sheep like bright green grass. If anything, I'd say Mr. Gates is no more or less than a realist. Just as with government, the majority generally gets the kind of software it deserves. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
