Not at all. Never met him personally and unlikely to in the forseeable
future. so nothing personal about it.

Are u joking what vision - robbing other's software, writing illegal
contracts, being the big bully, writing software with more holes than
a sieve. And that is not my concotion - it's recorded in various
court judgements across the world.
you have a very very myopic and biased opinion abt sw industry and
attributing all the bad things to only 1 company which maynot be
correct.
yes not all his business practices have been good. neither does
everyone else work like angels in utopia.
also i m talking abt the fact about making computing more accessible
and simpler. NOT THE WAY IN WHICH IT IS DONE. and thats where you have
to understand the meaning of world CLEANER in context to the
statement.
You are just being tremondously biased against microsoft which
according to me is not correct.
if remember RMS words or Dr Nagarjun, the realm of propritery didnot
start with MS, it started with companies trying to monetize on unix,
.... other companies just made it worse ...
Do you really think if MS were to close down or opensource everything
all the evil would be over ?

All of which would have been a lot cheaper and easier and reliable had
it not been for the aforementioned Billybaba and his cohorts'
methods.

It was not a flame mail. Just an hopeful statement that things could
change for the better. All of which would have been a lot cheaper and
easier and reliable had it not been for the aforementioned Billybaba
and his crooked methods.
I disagree ... there is more poison in your words than hope.
