My bet? Were it not for Gates, today we would have a diverse computing environment, with different OSs and processors... ... any of which you can buy for $5,000.00. It seems that anti-Microsoft arguments always ignore the benefits of network effects and economies of scale brought about by DOS and Windows. They are usually posted by Linux nerds running sub-$1000 3 GHz PCs that they couldn't possibly have afforded in a world where Apple, Commodore, Atari, and ten more companies like them kept building mutually- incompatible proprietary hardware. |
