[Bradford] Why Microsoft?

[Steve Wilson]

As much as I've taken to disliking Microsoft, they've played a big part
in bringing computers to where we are now. Pretty much the same as Apple
and the smart phone market.

Don't get me wrong. I don't like the creating propitiatory standards,
breaking RFCs etc. but if you look at Microsoft and Apple now they're
both playing catch up with the rest now they've become "established" in
their markets.
