intergrity of MSFT

microsoft? integrity? in the same sentence?

the horror! the horror!

microsoft's greatest success is and has always been in the marketing of software, not in its design. and, because the software design was driven by this bizarre kind of marketing (must eliminate all competition through incompatibility), the software has always suffered. (e.g. windows users are stuck with these active-x controls and scripting in e-mail and so forth becuz microsoft wouldn't go with java; and as a consequence they get all these viruses and worms and so forth. the upside, i suppose, is that it keeps symantec in business.)
