Oddly enough there is some truth to the only part of the aki's rant that makes sense. Just go back in history and see how much Word Processing Suites, Spreadsheets, databases, operating systems, databases and even browsers (yes, browsers) used to cost back in the day until good old Bill decided to get into the mix. Like it or not he led the path to consumerize IT. Something Apple is now doing. On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 8:58 AM, <ashok+skunkworks@parliaments.info> wrote:

@Rad, toboa if you want. So far I've just listed a few general comparions but ONE I'd like you to start with is affordable computing. :-)
Its a joke if you claim microsoft somehow brought affordability.
