There's been 2x as much time between today and that article, as between that article and WotC's founding. It's not relevant to the issues today, and the author paints an extremely rose-tinted picture of the period. The people he accuses of ruining the company's vision were also early employees (and although the author couldn't know it, would go on to found Paizo and today be the heir apparent to his presentation of WotC's vision).
