[Am-info] LinuxWorld: Opera shows graceful, humorous response to Microsoft blunder

[Roy Bixler]

I know this is an old story, but here is Joe Barr's write-up of the MSN-Opera 
fiasco:

Opera shows graceful, humorous response to Microsoft blunder

What I found most notable about this article is only tangentially related to 
the subject.  Did anyone else notice the following gem on the second page of 
the article?

<quote>I learned recently from an anonymous intern that, in 2000, Gates told a 
group of interns that suggested to him that Microsoft might be stifling 
innovation and creativity - this at the same time Microsoft was arguing in 
court that it furthers competition - that "the market is not about 
innovation; just look at the Beta vs. VHS situation."</quote>
