What a load of crap. If Gates was in fact the antichrist, then I might
have reason to like the man. But I don't.
Striving to be,

I have a reason...despite his bad points and his monopolistic management
style,
he has vowed to donate 90% of his 9 billion fortune to good causes. The
antichrist would do the opposite..

Vows change. Anyway, he's probably realized that it'd be too hard to
spend his fortune (he probably can't even THINK of enough things to buy)
so why not give some of that extra to "good causes" and get people on his
side.
The antichrist would lie and deceive to get what he wants, so this is not
a strange thing.
ANYWAY... ;-)

Not exactly. What he's done is made them *believe* that MS-DOS and
Windoze are the best products to use. That's far worse. He didn't
force anybody -- he deceived them into believing that PCs and
MS-DOS/Windows make an acceptable computing platform.
We, of course, know better. ;-)
The man has become richer than God peddling '80s technology as state of
the art in the '90s. Christ, that galls me!
Of course, this doesn't even resemble what Battelle Memorial Institute
would have to say about the matter. They love their PCs here!

Remember that 'good' is a relative concept dependent on the views of the
user...

That may very well be. I was referring in particular to MS Windows
-- which allowed Gates to become the Saviour of the PC User (TM). My
point simply was that there were implementations of windows interfaces in
the late '80s (e.g. Workbench) that were cleaner and less kludgy than MS
Windows is now.
AmigaDOS and Workbench were designed for windowing and multitasking from
the start, and represent a small and elegant implementation. MS DOS, OTOH,
was never meant to do those things, and Windows is a tacked-on front end
to DOS that allows a GUI and task-switching. The result is a cumbersome
system that has ridiculous RAM and processor requirements, and merely
covers up the warts of DOS. Microsoft should have fnord chucked DOS and
Windows and rebuilt from the ground up five years ago.

Shouldn't that be "60s technology"?
There's nothing in MS-DOS that wasn't in the PDPs apart from hierarchial
directories and VGA support.
