Dick Brass did have a lot of Valid Point, but it seemed like he was being a bit negative, all I can really say is that I would never want to work at Microsoft and they missed out on a lot of opportunities that could have made them bigger market leaders. |
The truth is always somewhere in the middle. I'm sure Mr. Brass has very valid issues with things, but his side is only from his perspective. I've always been torn on my feelings for Microsoft. I preferred Netware over NT4, but liked Office over the Lotus suite. I do not care for ASP.NET, but love MSSQL. I don't care much for Hotmail, but use Live Messenger everyday. I'd love to put IE's icon on a pike for making me create so many CSS hacks all the time, but I hope Courier is the real deal. It's just kind of weird really.

I thought that was the only way to comb your hair??? Perhaps that's what I am doing wrong.
@AJAX discussion: Microsoft create the predecessor to the XMLHttpRequest and used it in early versions of OWA. Once the other browsers implemented this feature, Google made it mainstream with Gmail. But Microsoft did create the original tech.
