They need to learn that they cannot create successful software, even if their life depended on it.

If they have trouble making a stable web browser, what does that tell you about their operating system.

Every time you buy or use a Microsoft product, you are funding terrorism.
Say what?

The largest and most successful software company of all time bar none "cannot create successful software" ?

You're trying so hard to be right that all logic, facts and figures have been tossed aside!

You're probably reading this in... windows. I'm writing it in windows.

I haven't used IE in a long time, admittedly, it's always been garbage.

However when I look back on my Atari, Amiga, Tandy and IBM AT/XT days, Microsoft rode in like a white knight and wowed us. Seeing Windows 2.0 for the first time? Amazing. MS Word vs Wordperfect 5.1? Amazing. Windows 3.1? Very advanced for the time. Plus I've always loved their mice and keyboards.

And because of Microsoft's success (and lax stance on piracy of their software) thousands of other companies were able to hop on the gold train and make some cool stuff too. We have a lot to be thankful for.
