WWW vs. MS Blackbird, ca. 1996

Man, that was a stinker. I still have a copy on CD-ROM given me by a rep at the MS
booth where they were showcasing it as _better than the web_. I asked the rep about
HTML compatibility and he explained gently that HTML was not nearly as good as their
proprietary format.

Justice may be blind but it isn't dumb.
