As fun as it is to pick on MS, they did manage to pick up quite a few of the best Mac programmers in the world. But maybe their problem is Microsoft doesn't notice their *aptitude* :)

My god, do I need a vacation or what? Of course you're correct. It's obvious I don't know what I'm talking about today, so maybe I should go work for Microsoft or something where my ineptitude won't be noticed.

The fact is, M$FT has a lot of talented software developers in all areas of their business. Even the defects in their widely-used OS aren't due to lack of technical ability -- they are due to opportunistic management decisions.


The issue with M$FT, as I see it, is their management and their "values". Their executives have historically pursued a "take no prisoners" approach to the rest of the industry. And they have never hesitated to use marketing schemes that are illegal for a monopolist -- and which would be immoral and unethical even if they weren't a monopolist.
