Re: Hmm... Maybe I was right

90% (or more) of those "facts" have already been debunked elsewhere.

Re: Hmm... Maybe I was right

You must mean fiction or fantasy.
Nothing on that page, unless I missed it, said anything about "facts",
That is certainly NOT a list of facts.

Or can you cite the source for the 640 kb RAM comment by Gates?
The auto comparison is fiction as well.
I did not look further since these well known fantasies (except by you
apparently) show how factual that page actually is.

"Hmm... Maybe I was right"
About what?

However some Microsoft critics somehow need to spread some of the
fantasies on that page.

There are many things attributed to Gates he never actually said, just
like the urban legend that Al Gore claimed to have created the
Internet.

That doesn't explain why some clueless yahoos blindly defend Microsoft
no matter what as if they were paid to. Are you paid to kiss Microsoft
butt? If not, the amount of time you spend doing that you should be.

Re: Hmm... Maybe I was right

There you go, stalking me again while contributing NOTHING.
You should find better things to do than search out my posts to add
your valueless comments.
Typical of your need to respond to anything I say even when you have
NOTHING to contribute as usually is the case for you.
