Re: [flexcoders] I noticed something MS Vista Beta 2 out
Hey, I read it; Wisdom entails optimism... in fact anybody with more money than you can't be trusted. As far as Microsoft steering my future, I doubt it. I guess I am just missing your perspective. Most people that think, know that a company that is run by more than one person has many ideas that may not jive with others that work at that same company. People always want big houses. BTW, I am a Seattle native and lived very close to Redmond. You fail to see back in 1993, Bill Gates funded our computer lab even before email, we networked our highschool and the rest is history. I love warnings but, I don't think people see how they actually did help people/students. Maybe it was just to get us in 'their' clan?! It didn't work with me, I think with my own values.
