"Ideally, use of the competing technology becomes associated with mental
deficiency, as in, "he believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and OS/2."
Just keep rubbing it in, via the press, analysts, newsgroups, whatever. Make the
complete failure of the competition's technology part of the mythology of the
computer industry. We want to place selection pressure on those companies and
individuals that show a genetic weakness for competitors' technologies, to make
the industry increasingly resistant to such unhealthy strains, over time."
