By withholding NT, Microsoft killed the Motorola server business as well. This happened about the time Motorola was producing Mac clones, but only Bill knows if there was a connection.

We can all dislike Bill (and I do as he killed DEC where I worked). But you have to admit the people he knocked off were pretty stupid to let him kill them off. Palmer was a total jerk to wait for NT5.0
What really ticks me off he got some kind of multi-million golden parachute, and I understand he is on the board of directors of another major chip company. Who would hire a failure like him?
