Neal Stephenson is one of us. Stephenson is
a famous science fiction writer I have just read "in the beginning was
the command line". This is a short book about operating systems and
computers from a users perspective. Although it is over 10 years old, I
really enjoyed reading it. Most of it is still relevant
One point that book makes is that people don't buy Microsoft
windows for rational reasons. Somehow it is a bizzare group
delusion. Once that dream is over Microsoft will have problems.
(I am not sure how getting a "free copy" of windows with every
PC you buy, effects the group delusion.)
