Oh that's a bunch of Bull..............
IBM made Bill Gates. Not Bill Gates. Bill Gates merely got enough power from
his check book and got to greedy.....So the big boys took him down.
I'll remind you that the DOD started the age of information, *not* MS. All
standards that where ever made to maintain good information transfers, MS
screwded up by forcing their own line of crap that broke evrything (MS-Word,
InternetExplorer, FrontPage http server, OutLook Express, *Visual*C). The
standards were all ready there and the networking community was (at a casual
user level) was trying to perfect them until MS forced its way. Try to find an
credited course for NetworkAdmin, the closest thing resembling the NetworkAdmin
courses is the title, they all are nothing more than expensive MS workshops.
Say the word Un*x, or Perl, or Python, or Xwindows, and they are lost.
And MS did not develop the TCP/IP contrary to popular belief. IBM did. MS
bought into it so it could be further developed on the desktop industry. The
desktop industry was IBM's main target. Since IBM and MS were in bed with each
other, it makes only since to help develop the OS that your selling. Thus IBM,
said to MS here is a TCP stack, put it in with your networking protocol.
MS is not the reason we are talking on the internet. They were another
vehicle at IBM's disposal.
You will not see one development group slow down because of this breakup.
Why? Because MS has always screwd-up standards never, never, never, improved
them.
