Paul Graham is one of the father's of computer science and was voted by Business Week as one of the top 25 most influential people of the web for 2008.
It is Mr. Graham that noted some number of years ago that computer companies that also write their own operating systems provide better end-to-end integration, and thus, have the best user experience. He was referring to Apple. His latest quote is that "Windows is for grandmas." What he was specifically referring to is the unending backward compatibility of the Windows operating system. At some point, the legacy cord has to be cut in order to provide a better operating system.
