Thank you for the article. Many of us share the hatred for Microsoft Corporation but perhaps we should let go of the M$ shorthand out of context?

The article was written in 1998 when such slang was common, as was the design elements used (like animated gifs).

I don't think being disdainful of Microsoft is interesting either but it makes more sense in context.

totally... it's irrelevant now. The company has really changed and besides can we really say that they were that bad now? Is Microsoft Windows really such a bad product? I personally don't think so.
