Hating the Microsoft
Few people can top outgoing Sun CEO Scott McNealy for his vitriole against Microsoft.,
C|Net has some choice zingers . They’re tough to disagree with. I can’t help but include a few here:
* “Microsoft is now talking about the digital nervous system. I guess I would be nervous if my system was built on their technology, too.”
* “I’ve always argued the best way to keep your teenager off drugs is buy him a Pentium Pro, give him NT and Microsoft Office and a printer, and tell him you get $500 if you can print something out of PowerPoint on that printer. That will take him six months of drug-free activity. I think that’s probably the best thing you could possibly do for your teenager.”
* “Having Microsoft give us advice on open standards is like W.C. Fields giving moral advice to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.”
