Why, you exponent ask, is a company that controls 90 percent of its market worried to the highest degree public perception? Why would such a major forge in the computer industry shut down production of raw software, in an attempt to correct countless errors? Why did Bill gate hire Wieden and Kennedy, the advertising agency that gave us such things as the Nike Swoosh, to qualifying Microsofts public image?
