Funny that, MS Word never crashes on me.

Many years ago, i hated Visual C++ because it was not ansi complient.
Many years ago i thought MS sucked the fat one and linux was great.
Many years ago I was a poor hardware designer.

Now I compare what I have achieved with MS compared to what I used to
do. Now MS is more stable than linux, it supports more hardware,
everyone uses it AND, I can get more windows programmers than I can
get linux C++ programmers. Plus there is more money in C# than C++ (or
java). I wonder why they are trying to implement c# and the .net
framework in linux?

But Bill Gates designed windows all on his own, so I guess its all his
fault. I guess he still makes all the technical and legal descisions
too. BAhh, I hate people who are succesfull. Thanks Bill.
