The Chronicle of Higher Education: Colloquy

COLLOQUY

Responses


Microsoft is investing in it's future. It has to because what it has to sell or give away for free is not worth the effort to pick off the shelf or the bandwidth to download. They license or steal technology from the innovators, (eg. Spyglass, Real Networks, Apple Computer, which has a patent ratio of 2:1 with Microsoft), and push on everyone.

What's the world left with? Moldy cheese.

That is Gates' Plan (of course he doesn't see it as moldy cheese, because it's his brainchild).
