Big Whoop

February 7, 2007

This blogger kind of sums up the entire dinosaurs-in-the-making events we are witnessing first-hand.

Remember when OS2 was the great next big thang and MS cunningly defenestrated IBM outa the ivory tower?

Or when the first functioning production version of Windows (3.1) GUI looked and functioned eerily like Apple and Xerox Parc OS’ and the lawsuits flew?

Or more recently when MS and excused Novell’s version of Linux (Suse) from any future legal tribulations, placing a dark cloud over the other distros, and a lot of folks scratching their penguin heads over what this particluar invocation of FUD is really all about? And that gift of $250 mil, what was that all about?

Well, the villain of these stories is beginning to look a bit leathery, slithery, and maybe bit too large to manage to tie its own shoes in the morning.
