Windows Or Bridges?
Friday, August 22nd, 2008Its been quite some time since I’ve done ANYTHING on this site. But since I would be considered a geek, this short article I just read has prompted me to at least throw a link up to it. It captures my sentiments about Microsoft quite well. Its not that I think they make terrible software. Its not that I feel they have never contributed anything good to the wonderful world of software and tech. Its just that, well, they just seem kind of evil. Haha. Yes, that is said with mostly jest.
Through closed standards, aggressive patent FUD, and proprietary Office file formats and SharePoint repository, Microsoft has effectively declared war on the very idea of “breaking down barriers that prevent people and ideas from connecting”…unless you happen to be using 100 percent of Microsoft’s software to do the job.
