So I just read Bill Gates’ 1976 Open Letter To Hobbyists, in which he whines about not making more money from his software. You know, instead of being proud of making software that people wanted to use. And then the bastard went on and made proprietary licences for software the industry standard, holding back innovation and freedom for decades. What a douche canoe.
Sometimes it’s about the effort of paying than the actual cost.
Of course, with Microsoft it’s both.
Very well put. I cannot stand the entitlement in the original letter.
