Why this is empowering (Score 1)

MS is always looking after the little guy. Before MS Office i had to publish my beer bottle collecting newsletter using thousands of dollars of proprietary software. Now with the new MS model of doing business and the shift towards commodity software, I know hold the power at my fingertips. Now I consider myself a intermediate/expert programmer (VBA macro guru) and would have been DENIED these opporunities if we were still sitting on time-share terminals. What about MS Flight Simulator. Could little joe average afford to fly a plane? For 50 dollars I get my dose of this "virtual cyber escapade". And what if there was no MS? Have you all heard of this Y2K problem. All these Y2K ready MS softwares replaced those softwares of past.

Just something to think about my fellow hackers.
