Do you all bow to Bill Gates and thank him every night for the fact that computers are so prevalent?
Piss and moan about him all you want for stealing, producing a second rate product, or anything else you people may think, but the fact is, he was the one who saw the commercial possibilities and potential demand years before anyone else. Windows is the most popular system not because it is technically the best (the most technically sound solution is rarely if ever the most popular) but because it is the easiest to use. Whether that means easiest interface, most compatible, easiest to find products, replacements for, or any of the other reasons is up for debate. The fact is, it's the most popular because it's the most beneficial to the most people.
YEAH BILL GATES. YOU ARE A FUCKING GOD!~!!
