sort of means small and unassuming not hard... strange name for a company that's world dominating and has linkes to the military.

having said that bill does give a lot of money away and he has just sold the flight simulator section of the bussiness which i think has always had strong links to military simulation software. but who knows

it should really be called Bighard or somthing


Well i'd imagine they're called microsoft because they make software for microcomputers

yes i know but that doesn't stop the association, which is very strong , the words micro soft are synonymous with the company but still have there inherent meanings. they are floating about in our unconscious mind.

it's ether a psychological trick or coincidence
