I have to agree with you on the job thing. The speed at which things such as the internet, home computers, on-line gaming, and a slew of other things that we enjoy today has been made easier because of Microsoft. You think that the Commodore 64 or the TRS-80 would have brought us to this point? You think that half the people that you know would have picked up the huge (at the time) Computer Shopper, went through 100+ pages of ads, and ordered a PC just to run DOS and deal with config.sys and autoexec.bat to make sure all your drivers load without conflicts, just to get a game of Lemmings to run? I doubt it.
