Microsoft<\/a> keeps showing anyone with an open mind that they "get it". I know,
\nI know, most people don’t believe it… but your wrong.  MS has a huge
\nnumber of smart people and they have the resources to do the kind of R&D that
\nthe most of the "open source" community can only dream about.<\/p>\n

Case in point is
\nMonad<\/a>.
\nMonad is the next generation command line shell from MS. While the folks who use
\nthe Un*x like systems (including Linux) have been crowing for years about how
\ngood their shells are, there have been almost no important improvement in the
\nUn*x shell technology since I learned the stuff more than 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

Monad represents the next logical step, and is a huge improvement. So huge in
\nfact that anyone with an IQ would recognize it – unless they were blinded by
\nhatred of MS. People like that, people who cannot see the important technologies
\nsimply because of who they come from are destined to fall behind. You cannot
\nallow yourself to be blinded by prejudice.<\/p>\n

For a while Linux had a technical advantage over MS, for a while I think it
\nhit it’s "sweet spot". But things have been changing rapidly:<\/p>\n
