Here's a clip from the movie about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs when Jobs
discovers that Gates stole his (and Xerox') ideas.


Classic statement from Gates:

"Quality doesn't matter."

Ironic that Gates, the thief, has introduced anti-piracy software to
Windows. I guess theft is only OK when he does it and makes billions
doing it.

Because he's a hypocritical (you notice he's using Windows),
obsessively and mindlessly anti-Microsoft troll. It's what he does.

Um, WGA, etc. assumes all paying customers are thieves, of course! That,
for some reason, really pisses me off.

And, of course Bill Gates has "moved on" and hopes everyone will just
forget it. He got rich by stealing Windows from Xerox.

Again, Bruce proves that the MVPs, when out of ammo, can only hurl insults.

Note the subject. Most newbies don't know what a crook Gates and Ballmer
are and, like sheep, accept the WPA, WGA, etc.

How does simply stating a readily observable fact constitute an insult?
If you don't like the way others perceive you, change your manner;
otherwise, get over it. And anyway, it's not as if insults weren't your
own primary stock-in-trade. More hypocrisy, clearly demonstrated.

You did not respond to content. You merely used the opportunity to take
a shot at me because I don't love *everything* MS does.

Ah, Hello? I wasn't responding to you, in the first place; I was
explaining to someone else why you post the venomous tripe you do.

In an indirect sort of way, sure. Wouldn't want any newbies to
mistakenly take you seriously. By the way, you still haven't explained
why you're still hypocritically using the products of a company you hold
in such contempt.

I agree with you but get your facts straight. Apple (Steve Jobs)
copied the Xerox PARC to produce the Mac graphical OS. Gates copied
from Apple to produce Windows. He also fleeced Seattle Computing out
of DOS.

I don't hold them in contempt. I hold some of their practices in
contempt, although after watching Steve Ballmer on YouTube, I am not so
sure he's not a beer short of a six pack. I've been very happy with XP
since SP2, especially in comparison to 95, 98, Me and W2K. As a paying
customer, I feel I have a right to bitch about the practices I don't
like. If you go into a restaurant and don't like the dessert, that
doesn't mean you didn't like the main course. Also, there's nothing
wrong with not eating at the same restaurant every day.

The video I watched had Bill Gates telling Steve Jobs that he stole it
from Xerox first. Was he lying?

Alias, who is posting this a second time because the first post was
censored or so it seems.

Coming from one of Billy's butt boys such as yourself, your opinion of
anyone doesn't hold alot of water.

Are you delusional? An opinion is *not* a fact.
