So he'd have the background to evaluate the technical competance and plans
of his flunkies.

His fucked up decisions have cost the computer industry billions, and have
shipped billions more overseas to buy the RAM needed to run his bloated
software. That's where he's got his money, from selling out you and me. 

There's absolutely nothing in NT to justify the memory requirements. The copy
I installed last week listed a 32M *minimum*. And damn, it's a frustrating
system to work with... that hourglass gets real boring real fast.
