Ok Ok, their home user Operating systems have had many bugs, (I have none with Win98) mainly with WinME, But where would Thousands of companies and millions of kids be today without Microsoft? I think Microsoft are a brilliant company despite what I might say when I get angry with WinME. They have managed to employ 32000+ people world wide increasing unemployment. They don't make half as many mistakes as Netscape with their web browsers. I think that Bill Gates did get lucky by owning such a large company, it has to be said, but that happens with lots of famous people.

A far more sensible way of looking at things is to evaluate what Microsoft have done, what is good and what is bad and from that come to a conclusion about their rating as a company. When you do this you can make a sober ...  Read the complete review

Microsoft: An overpowering company who shouldn't have been split up by the US government, but should instead have been disolved. Let's take the example everyone knows: WINDOWS Advantages: Provides a fairly easy interface to running programs Disadvantages: Win 98 can't run Dos-based games properly because it doesn't use DMA channels for sound. It is unstable (even version B) Doesn't like running Netscape The last disadvantage will make people think it is Netscape's fault, but when used on LINUX, the program runs extremely smoothly, and very rarely goes wrong. It is about time that program ...  Read the complete review
