   Bill Gates has done enough to humiliate himself in front of the entire   
   industry during demonstrations of his own product.

   I wouldn't say no one... and I'd say for a new commercial OS BeOS had a   
   pretty good run.   
      
   I tried it... It was alright but it didn't fill any need I couldn't   
   already fill.
