Van een trouwe Feigling fan kregen we de volgende brief:

Bill Gates is a kewl dewd?

Well, not really.  He's really just a socially inept, power-hungry, wannabee
technical business man, who happends to be the richest human on the planet,
worth approximately $12.9 billion.  Bill dropped out of Harvard in the late
1970's to start a company based on his version of BASIC written for the first
thing which could be loosely described as a "Personal Computer". He started
making his money by creating technically poor, but marketable applications
for whatever computer was available.  When IBM was looking to make the first
"PC", Billy bought the rights to QDOS - a bastardized CP/M - and pawned it
off to Big Blue as "PC-DOS".  When the marrige between IBM and Microsoft
went south, PC-DOS became MS-DOS.  Hello, world!

Since Billy didn't write QDOS, he really has no idea how it works.
[He's really not a very technically savvy person!]  Because he doesn't know
how it works he is effectively incapable of making any major revisions to
this OS.  The one thing he CAN do is build upon this mystery code. Welcome
to Windows!

Windows is not a graphical operating system. Windows is a graphical
front-end for DOS!  Windows 95 is a face-lift for this veneer. It's STUCCO
on the INFORMATION SUPERPARKINGLOT.  Billy, however pathetic a programmer
he is, does have ONE admirable trait -- he has always been in love with
the Macintosh OS.  While he's not <A href="http://www.halcyon.com/redrose
/menu-ms.html">harassing his female employees</A>, he's looking at a Mac and
trying to figure out how it works.

Unfortunately, because he's such a socially retarded individual, Billy is
incapable of getting the POINT.  He has failed to understand the
psychological and sociological concepts which made the Macintosh (and the
Lisa before it) such an intuitive, elegant machine to use. Instead of
understanding the art of a human interface design which was created with
$5 billion worth of research about how people think and work, all Big Bill
sees are windows and buttons. Here is Bill's logic: If windows and buttons
are easy, then MORE windows and MORE buttons are easier! Right? WRONG, BUCKO!

Now, you could just dismiss me as some fringe lunatic with nothing better
to do.  That's OK.  I don't seriously expect anyone to have a "Moment of
Clarity" as a result of anything *I* say! Why listen to me? Obviously I'm
no technological god, or president of a major computer systems engineering
firm. I say, DON'T listen to me! Instead, listen to what Scott McNealy,
president of the world-renown SUN Microsystems has to say about Windows:

MCNEALY CRITICIZES "WINDOWS 95 HAIRBALL"

Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy doesn't think 
much of Windows 95: "This Windows 95 hairball has 
become so big, so unmanageable, so hard to use, so hard 
to configure, so hard to keep up and running, so hard to
keep secure. Windows 95 is a great gift to give your kid 
this Christmas because it will keep your kid fascinated 
for months trying to get it up and running and trying to 
figure out how to use it."  McNealy says the biggest 
problem in computing today is that people confuse 
computer activity with corporate output and 
productivity:  "These (systems like Windows 95) are not 
productivity tools, they are personal activity generators."

Sorry Bill! Hip Hip Hooray to the Feigling crew!
