\maketitle
|
||||
|
||||
This is a personal story: a story of corruption, surveillance, deception, and greed. This is
|
||||
how one man monopolized operating systems.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
The word computer used to describe an occupation. People, often women, were tasked with
|
||||
crunching numbers by hand. It was a slow and tedious job, but a very important one. Yet,
|
||||
computing goes back much further than this.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
Our tale begins in ancient Babylon. Put yourself in the shoes of a grain merchant.
|
||||
The year is 1700 BC, and you are busy keeping track of trades and calculating how much
|
||||
customers owe. It is a challenging task at first look, but you have an abacus. Simply by
|
||||
sliding beads, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be done with relative
|
||||
ease.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
For hundreds of years, this was the extent of personal computing -- nothing but sliding beads.
|
||||
Progress was slow. The first analog computers were used for tracking astronomical events
|
||||
like predicting eclipses, and navigation by stars. The first general purpose computer was
|
||||
invented by Charles Babbage in 1833. It was the first device that resembled modern processors
|
||||
in function, and over the coming century, the computing industry would explode in complexity.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\marginnote{Pause for intensity.} Bill Gates was born on October 28th, 1955. His childhood was
|
||||
filled with success (\textit{pause}) and computers. In 1973, Gates attended Harvard, but his
|
||||
passion for writing computer software took over his life. He dropped out after two years to
|
||||
move to Albuquerque, New Mexico at a company called MITS -- the company behind the first ever
|
||||
personal computer. He was inspired by MITS to make his own company. Short for microcomputer
|
||||
software, he called it Micro-Soft. Yes, it was originally hyphenated.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
Micro-Soft was an instant success. Their first product, a form of the once popular programming
|
||||
language, BASIC, was a huge hit for hobbyists around the country. In 1981, Microsoft released
|
||||
MS-DOS. A primitive operating system that functioned similarly to the command prompt found
|
||||
in modern Windows. The first version of Windows hit the shelves in 1985 and functioned as a
|
||||
graphical overlay for the strictly text-based DOS platform.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
At this point in time, Windows was fairly bare bones. It had a file explorer, a notepad, a
|
||||
calculator, and a clock. The mid 1990s saw the first wave of internet popularity,
|
||||
and early web browsers like Netscape Navigator and Opera saw much success during this period.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
Things started to change when the now defunct Internet Explorer was included as a default
|
||||
application. Since software had to be purchased at brick-and-mortar retail stores and installed on
|
||||
three-and-a-half inch floppy diskettes, default apps were given a major advantage. This
|
||||
change caught the attention of antitrust lawyers.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\marginnote{Very noticeable pause} Recall the first thing I said, "This is a \textit{personal} speech."
|
||||
So far, this has been nothing but other peoples' stories. So, where do \textit{I} come into this?
|
||||
Well, (\textit{pause}) it is a little more than just me. Here is where \textit{we} come into it.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
I am willing to bet that at least 90\% of you are running Microsoft Windows. For those who are,
|
||||
the next minute or so is dedicated to \textit{aaaaall} you. While I'm talking I'd like all of
|
||||
the Windows users to, and please try to do it \textit{silently}, boot up you laptop.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
While logging in, some of you, and everyone using Windows 11, will be logging into a Microsoft
|
||||
account. In newer versions of Windows, the Microsoft account has nearly replaced the local
|
||||
user.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
Back to the antitrust suits. What the heck were they about? Well, and I'm going to spoil it,
|
||||
Microsoft won. They got away with being able to bundle software into their operating system.
|
||||
Now that all of you are logged into Windows, take a look at the \textit{Start} menu. Look at
|
||||
all of those programs that you didn't install. Candy Crush? Bubble Witch? TikTok?
|
||||
\marginnote{Sound absurdly confused} What are those \textit{do-ing} there???
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
Bloat! Bloat, bloat, bloat. It's all bloat, folks. And it's \textit{NOT} at all necessary.
|
||||
Now, some of these programs are useful. Some. Some of them take up space. And some of them,
|
||||
usually the more well-hidden ones, are actually \textit{harmful}.
|
||||
\\
|
||||
\\
|
||||
This was a problem almost 30 years ago, and it's still a problem today.
