That's just the thing, at some point someone will make a mistake, he should have been more like the Dread Pirate Roberts and retired before that happened. From what I understand he had made a lot of money, should have walked away while he still could (yeah, yeah I know easier said than done).

Erm, I can still find Windows ME on the net, not that I would actually want to install it. All MS are doing (and it boggles the mind that they can't see it) is shooting themselves in the foot. One of the reasons Windows XP was so insanely popular is because it was so easy to pirate. If MS pulled their head out of their own a$$ and looked around they would realise that Linux with Android have made huge inroads in replacing MS as the dominant OS. Steam OS is around the corner, I am a huge gamer and when it's out I will definitely be dual booting. MS should follow the same licensing model for windows that they are taking with Visual Studio. Free for personal use. Companies have to pay for a license. That being said we just recently formatted about 200 PC's and put Linux on them, they are being used as POS terminals which is web based, so why pay for an MS license when all you need is a browser?

Free electricity is retarded, they did it here and now we have Rolling blackouts
Arguably it's also due to mismanagement (they put ditch diggers in charge).
There is nothing wrong with the poor people sitting in the dark, they need to get up early to dig ditches anyway. Also since they can't watch TV they end up breeding more, so we can have more ditches dug.

Alternately it will create a legion of future business people who think that they can code and say "just put a button there to do xyz, it's easy, I can do it in my sleep" without really understanding the system or architecture and hence not realizing that the "button" requires days of rework or hacking the current code into an abhorrent mess.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
