Today, when I crashed some program on my linux box I remembered the old days with that well-known operating system and I also recall the following lines of Bodo Wartke’s song PCdenzfall:

Neulich mal im Traum packte mich das nackte Grauen,
ich hab' geträumt, Microsoft würde Flugzeuge bauen.

Free English translation:

Recently in a dream I was seized by the naked dread,
I've dreamt Microsoft would build airplanes flying over my head.

In contrast to Bodo Wartke I’m not supporting the opinion that Bill Gates would wrongly deserve so much money. It’s about the consumer to buy software. And people have choices such as Linux and dotProject.
