We are Microsoft ...

Standardisation is irrelevant.
Usability is irrelevant.
Choice is irrelevant.
Prepare to be assimilated.


 


Mr Bill Gates Interviewed!

In an interview with the German weekly magazine FOCUS (October 23, 1995) Microsoft's Glorious Leader said:

"There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed."

I'm not making it up! The man who inflicted DOS and Windows on the world really said this!


 


The Word According To Bill ...

In the beginning there was darkness, and the darkness was without form, and void. And Gates said "Let There Be Light", and there was a General Protection Fault.


 


The Word According To Judge Thomas Jackson

Findings of Fact.

Conclusions of Law, and Final Order: "... the Court concludes that Microsoft maintained its monopoly power by anticompetitive means and attempted to monopolize the Web browser market, both in violation of §2 [of the Sherman Antitrust Act]. Microsoft also violated §1 of the Sherman Act by unlawfully tying its Web browser to its operating system. The facts found do not support the conclusion, however, that the effect of Microsoft's marketing arrangements with other companies constituted unlawful exclusive dealing under criteria established by leading decisions under §1."

I await Judge Jackson's "... Order with respect to appropriate relief." with keen anticipation!

 


Boycott Microsoft

The Boycott Microsoft site's "Monopoly Clock" tracks the count-down to the final and complete monopolization of the technology and communications industries by Microsoft; the midnight hour for consumer choice. The Clock is advanced or retreated on regular intervals depending on related events.
