Gates retires

in FinancieelComments Off

Some call him Sir Williams Gates III, some call him the man that changed the world and some say that Bill Gates is single handedly responsible for the current pricelevel of those wonderful things we call computers. And when referring to that pricelevel, they mean: ultra low … like Euro 500,- for a computer you can hook to your television, does some multimedia and that has a graphical user interface.

Rrrrrrrrright, like my Atari ST and Comodore Amiga couldn’t do that in 1985, 1988 respectively. Those machines in their days where stable multimedia machines, were the PC still isn’t it today. Gates might have brought the PC down to the Euro 500,- level, but it took him 25 years, some really nasty business practises and the product still lacks security and stability.

Come on now!
