On: Bill Gates: “Our Most Potent Operating System Competitor is Linux”

Microsoft does some amazing things at MS Research. They have trouble getting them into products, and they have no taste - so they can't polish them well.

All their products constrain, rather than enable me.

I think Microsoft has great taste... if they steal their design elements from other companies, that is :)

Like Picasso said. Good artists borrow, great artists steal.

The Windows 7 Beta seemed pretty good when I used it.
