Who is to blame?

I just came across this great site about Microsoft, and how they managed to take over the computer market. It's kinda funny how it all happened really. http://www.vcnet.com/bms/features/serendipities.html
Basically, this site says that they got lucky, it was just a run of luck that put Microsoft in charge of what goes on our Boxes when they are shipped. Luck, and some extortion, and probably a little bribing. But if we are going to blame anyone, I know exactly who to blame, how about the people at an old company called CP/M, but by some fluke, they screwed up. Anyway, read the article, I'm sure that most of you knew this stuff anyway, but I thought it was a little interesting.

There luck will have to run out some time.... wont it?

neo_x500:
Oh god I hope so. You've heard the phrase, right? you know, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. I'm starting to think that the public, as a whole, is a bunch of incompitent, morons. A person can be smart, but people are dumb, with all these news reports, you would think that Microsofts stock would drop like a led balloon. Oh well...

Master of Reality:
you should become A Bob. The cult of Bob sounds perfect for you.

Calum:
or maybe a Bokononist... Even better, become an integrational polytheist! Hey! that's a great idea! i think i will start my religion online and have a website for integrational polytheism!!! wow!! (sorry i know that's really off topic, i'll shut up now.)
