It's Microsoft's fault
This happened because scores of MSCE's read the handwriting on the wall and learned UNIX programming real quick so they could get out while the getting was good. Naturally, they brought their cheesy Windows programmer techniques with them, leading to this.

OK, how about this? Terrified of the UNIX menace, retired secret agents working for Microsoft put drugs into the water supply of companies doing UNIX development work. The drugs were specially formulated to make software engineers program like they were writing for Windows.

Well, how about another possibility? UNIX code produced by certain companies has been hacked by highly skilled Microsoft engineers. No, that can't possibly be it?no skilled people would ever work for Microsoft.




Message created using ScanSoft Dragon NaturallySpeaking? Professional 7.0 and/or ParaGraph PenOffice? 2.5 CalliGrapher? handwriting recognition software. Please excuse any unintentional errors. I never make errors, so any you find are obviously the fault of Dragon or CalliGrapher?. But not me. Really. Trust me?I wouldn't lie to you as far as you know.
