NT influenced by Unix For several years now I've been looking for something Bill Gates said. Unfortunately I had misremembered the actual words, and every time I found someone who thought they remembered it, they had the wrong words too and I'd come up dry yet again. Finally this week someone in a newsgroup pointed me to this:
Wake up, Apple Apple needs to pull its head out of the sand on this. Virtualization is the most important technology right now. Microsoft blew it (but they never really had a chance anyway because virtualization hurts them as much or more than it helps them) and VMware has made the first strike, but it's not too late for Apple to ink their own deal.
Embracing the unfamiliar Not that we don't need the comfort of friends and family, of course. Unfamiliar people and situations may stimulate us, but they also add stress. Being able to relax in predictable surroundings is important to our well being. Just don't get too comfortable if you need to be creative.
