C/Linux hacker, sysadmin, microsoft hater
Fragment powyzszego siga sprowokowal mnie o zapytanie jego wlasciciela o
ostatni zwrot... Ponizej przytaczam odpowiedz (za zgoda wypowiadajacego),
ktora na pewno spodoba sie wielu "wielbicielom" malomiekkich. ;))))
====================================================
I think microsoft have always been a very bad influence on the
computer industry, right from the start. Did you know all software
was free, until Bill Gates came along? He wrote altair basic, a very
buggy interpreter (nothings changed there), people fixed it so it
worked and gave their friends free copies, and then Bill Gates got
very angry indeed. He didn't like the fact that they were giving
each other free copies of a working program, instead of paying for
his buggy version.
Maybe hate is a strong word, but I don't like MicroSoft products
because of the atmosphere that surrounds it. If you program in
Visual Basic, for example, and want some add-ons, you have to pay for
them. With Borland Delphi, there is a much better atmosphere
Delphi has high-quality freeware coming out of it's ears. With linux
and freeBSD, the story is even better. Commercial companies just
can't compete with most of the excellent free software. Programming
is a lot more fun if you share your sourcecode with others.

Dobrze jest wiedziec, ze w innych rejonach swiata ludzie mysla podobnie,
nieprawdaz? :)
