Gak, mother of fluf from 1999. Microsoft not a monopoly? I'm laughing out loud. If you are looking to kill time, I suggest reading any of the following articles. They are written by people who write software rather than novels. The history of BSD: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html The same history from a different perspective: http://www.gnu.org/gnu/thegnuproject.html Why software should not have owners: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-free.html Interesting design philosophy has been written by the folks who developed C, C with classes and Unix.
