Microsoft's impending doom and how Apple & Microsoft differ on achieving
success
,----[ Quote ]
| Nevermind the inanities (Overpriced? No. Underpowered? Hmm - how so?),
| these quotes illustrate how Microsoft goes about competing, or rather,
| how Microsoft/Ballmer thinks firms should compete with them: not at
| all. According to Microsoft, the only way for Microsoft to win is
| if competition loses, or better yet, dies. This is the underlying
| philosophy. And this isn't something new or restricted to Ballmer. This
| sense of anger and violence has been embedded in the organizational
| culture. Microsoft's death-star treatment of Netscape, Corel,
| Borland, Lotus, Netscape, AOL, IBM, and numerous others are
| well-chronicled.

| Ballmer threw a chair across the room and shouted: "Fucking Eric Schmidt
| is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done
