    The essence of tragedy is not the doing of evil by evil men but the doing of evil by good men, out of weakness, indecision, sloth; inability to act in accordance with what they know to be right.

    And in the theatre
    I want to change my seat
    Just so I can step on
    Everybody’s feet

    Prisoner of Redmond

    During one of those last long nights working to deliver DOS 2.0 in early 1983, I am told that Paul Allen heard Gates and Ballmer discussing his health and talking about how to get his Microsoft shares back if Allen were to die.

    I’d sure feel good about buying my computer software from those guys. The combination of Allen having distanced his financial well being from his MS stock and an Iowa anti trust suit being heard this year lead Cringely to believe:

    Based purely on character (or lack of it), I confidently predict that Microsoft is going down. It should be interesting.
