How about those slackers in Silicon Valley why haven’t they produced an OS that I might consider using? I asked Dan Appleman this question at DevConnections and he answered “why should we”? I told him my biggest fear is that a Sony or Samsung will produce an OS for a device selling for $299 that we will be locked-out of, no software developers needed. He replied “that’s a good idea, it’s called the PS2”, then he went on to talk of his admiration for the Governator and California’s involvement in stem-cell research.
I played football in High School and Collage, so I understand Microsoft’s RA RA mentality, the goal is to be number 1, to win it all! Nobody is suing the Yankees; the Red Sox's had a better idea.
All the money spent on Lawsuits to stop Microsoft from being number one should have been invested in a Software company with a better idea. Better ideas would have made Microsoft compete even harder and all computer users would have been the beneficiaries.
