- While many of you Microsoft Wingagas may not like what I posted, and your
- gently feelings might not take it, I will continue to say whatever I feel
- like saying. If you don't like it, feel free to take me to court.
-
- My statements were made after observing for a LONG time Microsoft officials
- and their fans. First of all, Gates' suceess came after IBM gave him the
- chance to become sucessful. Don't believe me, I can name several books
- that will explain it.
-
- I have/had dealings with Microsoft and I know what their business is all
- about. Gates is the same man who stated his position about several
- companies in 1991 when the document in question "leaked" to several
- publications. He was talking about good relationships with several
- companies as well as IBM. A few months have gone by, at the NT
- developer conference, he stated several times that OS/2 is the biggest
- failure of all time. I know for a fact that many of you Wingagas who
- talk big did not attend this conference but I did so I know what was
- said. It was a few months later that this trend continued and expanded
- by Ballmer appearing at a show, trying to crash OS/2 in front of
- several people. Again, you probably don't know but I know. Who is the
- person behind it? Gates. Furthermore, one Microsoft official,
- after confronting him with a few questions, put down on SEVERAL occasions
- not only IBM but Borland and Novell as well.
-
- Like I stated before, you might not like what I said but that's because
- I never gave anybody hell. I just told the truth and they all thought
- it was hell.
