choice quotes
"In the days when Unix still had a fighting chance against Windows,
Unix vendors did little to deal with foreign file systems"
"Making DOS adapt to other network protocols and file systems turned
DOS into the most flexible network client on the market."
"If Microsoft's bundling of [IE] makes it guilty of anything, then we
might as well turn back the clock to revisit the old DOS and Unix shell
prompts and the "type" and "cat" commands (the DOS and Unix equivalents
for revealing the contents of a file) and condemn the whole lot of OS vendors."
well he got something right!
