This is another example of the generation of journalists influenced by Lester Bangs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I loved the Microsoft description. It is so very true.

Why yes, other tech companies have changed the world, too. Microsoft, for example. They invaded the global cube-farm and made everyone's workday a bit more bloated and annoying and sad and just a little uglier, buggy as hell, frustrating, virusy and lonely and numbing. Truly, it has been quite an impressive accomplishment.
