in Andreessen: MSFT did us a favour on Mathew's comments
"I don’t normally like to praise Microsoft for things. Not only am I not a Microsoft fan-boy, but I think some of the ways that the software company has done business in the past have been — well, bordering on unethical"
um, well..no shit. you do remember that a district court in washington convicted ms of being a predatory monopolist? still, there's something distasteful, if not juvenile, in your studied promotion of yourself as being in the anti-ms camp. there are no "good" or "bad" guys out there anymore.....google, yahoo, ibm, oracle - pick your poison. and i can think of many companies who regularly turn out lousy products. i suppose it's easy to pitch spitballs from the cheap seats. still, you do need to take a fresher look at what's going on in the business. time to hop on a jet sometime and visit the tech industry for a first-hand inspection, matthew.

Michael, if you want to talk about the U.S. and anti-monopoly law, then we could be here for a long time. The fact is that having Microsoft dominate the market for personal computer operating systems helped more than it hurt the industry long-term. I'm not sure what that has to do with me "pitching spitballs" or having to get on a jet to go somewhere, frankly.

in Bitchmeme: Do blogs deserve advertising? on Mathew's comments
i'm not sure what your point is. we don't need another derivative take on techmeme to understand what "louis said." he makes his points quite clearly.

Michael, if you don't understand what my point is, then I suggest you
go and read the post again -- maybe a little slower this time.
