Micro$oft
- (slang, derogatory) Microsoft.
- 2000 October 8, David Steuber, “Re: Comparing Perl and Java”, in comp.lang.perl.misc[2] (Usenet):
- The same applies to DHTML. Why can't anyone agree on a single standard? Probably because Micro$oft wants to retain a desktop monopoly in the face of superior technology avaialable on other platforms. Even on Windows, Netscape and IE use different DOMs.
- 2007, Frank Zammetti, Practical JavaScript, DOM Scripting, and Ajax Projects[3]:
- So, if you're a Microsoft booster, you can feel free to bash Netscape. If you're a Micro$oft hater, then it was clearly at fault!
