    First of all, you need to attract some very bright people to work for you. You also need to have good ideas that people can get interested in, preferably across a wide area of applications. On top of this, you really need to be able to capture the business market - this is where you really make your money. If Google and Apple can't kill off Microsoft, what makes you think you can do it?

      No, first you must prove yourself worthy. This will require many, many years of solitude and training. Then, and only then, you must defeat much weaker adversaries. Then, and only then, can you take the final test to show your worthiness. Once you have done all that, then, we can teach you how to defeat Microsoft.

      Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

          Gin and Bacon. That is all you need0 to succeed in this world. 0 A big shitty stick is also quite useful for numpty-blatting anyone who asks stoopid questions.

                  On the dark side we already are, I thought. Besides that, the empire always had the more impressive outfits and theme music.

                  And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
                  "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

                  And I smiled and was happy
                  And it came worse.
