Feel free to elaborate -- this is hacker news not script kiddie news. Excess cynicism aside, while I think there's always plenty to be critical of I think between Leslie Lamport, Excel, and Windows XP I'd say it's not all bad.

It's not cynical to dream of a world where giant brutal monopolies don't spew PR at every turn. Its optimistic. Like walking down a main street after they pass a no advertising law. Magical.
