Having fun/.That's how Wikipedia started. That's where innovation comes from
(and then ruined by paid-for Microsoft shills that edit Wikipedia to glorify
the robber baron).

What, haven't you heard? The industry is not about cooperation. Oh, no; Not if
you go to one of today's educational establishments. Your goal is "to make the
most money that you can, no matter what's involved". Education is just a
production line for good grades, not a place for creativity.

Of course, we can all sympathise with Microsoft, can't we? I mean, what's their
market share like in this space? Like 98%?
