There are two things that we know for sure:

- Microsoft is not dead.

- Paul Graham is a tedious windbag. (Look it up.)

Well, I think this is a bit rude. I myself am not a PG fan, but let's not be mean people about it (I come here because the decency high water mark is usually higher than other forums).

Some people have a track record, and you might trust them more because of it. They might still be wrong. Don't hold people up as demigods?

I politically disagree with pg, but that man is a genius no ifs and buts.

I'm not expressing an opinion about anyone with this; I would like to point out that being a genius is no bulwark against being a tedious windbag. Or heartbreakingly stupid. Or anything, really.
