In honor of Microsoft being superseded by Apple in the large company stakes, a little quote from Edsgar Dijkstra (the 'dsg' is not a typo):

Many companies that have made themselves dependent on IBM-equipment (and in doing so have sold their soul to the devil) will collapse under the sheer weight of the unmastered complexity of their data processing systems.

One has to ask, "Is Microsoft the new IBM?" (by the by, it does say "Redmond" on the back of the ambulance)
