I was looking through my bookmarks and found this relatively well written history and criticism of Microsoft: http://www.euronet.nl/users/frankvw/rants/microsoft/IhateMS.html
It gets a little emotional at times but is chock full of MS history and trivia.
This is funny in light of the recent security focus of Micorosoft. Makes you wonder what else is kicking around their codebase.

Thanks for the info. I was just reminiscent of some of my favourite companies in the past that have been trampled by ms' business ethics. The courts have not been able to establish a level playing field. The problem with bullies and guerilla tactics, there is always a bigger gorilla around the corner, it is just a matter of time.
I am not sure what the proper thread etiquette is and do apologize for linking it to the ms presentation -- I feel that it is related. I not feel that ms will not be eliminated in the next decade, but their market dominance will be considerably diminished. While I think Jarrod is right about the presentation will likely bring out the uglier side of Clug, I can but help to think the tides are turning and the waves of the tsunami will be hitting the beaches of ms. I guess I am now undecided whether the ms presentation will be beneficial or not.
