The only correct answer lmao.
"original"...
That's a stretch since M$ bought QDOS and modified it into what they called "MS-DOS".
🙄 🙄
The article is about Altair BASIC. That one was actually homegrown.
... but allegedly based on stolen source printouts from the college dumpster, and written using stolen time on their timeshare mainframes.
Fuck Microsoft
Shout out to the employee who interrupted to accuse Microsoft of war crimes!
A great time to boycott Microsoft.
I really hate how designer(s) of this page decided to included obnoxious animated transition between pages.
Fuck Microsoft and anyone who works there.
Hey, I'll take you up on that. Better than no sex, amirite?
Yeah sure, bit for Microsoft employees it'll be more akin to fuck them with an umbrella.
Microsoft has been a godawful company since it's inception and if at this point you're working there, you deserve nothing good
Hah, I get you, man. I left the place almost 25 years ago and nothing after WinXP was good. It irks me that open source Office suites just aren't good enough (looking at you, Calc) or I'd be using Linux on desktop, too, not just on my servers.
I expected a website but encountered a tollhouse of a teen it seems. All those fancy animations!
