MS?

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

But that's just the problem...those who have big money think they can get away with anything. While paid advertisements are still inching everywhere in all parts of our life, Microsoft and other big companies need to up the ante on getting public interest, so corporate graffiti is just a way of getting extra mileage on fumes. It's bad enough that Microsoft is attempting to monopolize the software market with faulty OSs.

We live in an age where publicity, public relations and marketing are the sole winning strategies for corporations to make a profit. If they actually considered using quality and winning consumer respect as product and service policies, not only would it mean rearranging and retraining the entire CEO staff but Mr. Gates himself wouldn't be able to pay jet fuel for his third leerjet in order to have his weelkly weekend retreat in the Bahamas.

Bill Gates dropped out of college to form Microsoft based on the profits he acquired from co-writing the OS for the Altair (The first PC, which was little more than a box with some switches and LEDs). Then, he licensed DOS to IBM. Then, he bought DOS from a desperate computer coder. Y'see, his entire career after the creation of the Altair OS has been based on propaganda.
