ROTFPMP - Gates business accumen is like sealing yourself in a glass
jar so you don't have to deal with other people. Of course. Most
people under 30 years will have no idea WTF I'm talking about.
BTW - it is not "Gate's business acumen", IBM was doing it in this
market well before MS and other companies were doing it well before
them. History was invented for a reason - ignore it at your peril.

Certain phrases of recent note like "The Stolen Generation", "The
Anzac Generation", should be remembered here. Although these two are
genuine, whereas "W W D of Win" is only a fart in gates arse. MS has
only dominated corporations with PHB and well deserved it is.
It is like saying my dress sense is dominated by the fashion industry.
Hmm, there is a book called 1984 that some people might gain from
reading about the rewriting of history. We seem to have a few people
guilty of that.
