I’m sure even an up-and-coming Microsoft was seen as a “good guy” at the top of the ‘90s. Uh, about that…

  I said at the top of the decade, not at its end.

    The letter to hackers ("hobbyists") was actually from 1976: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists Microsoft were never the good guys, not in the 80s, not in the 90s, not ever.

    Microsoft was a broadly accepted villain throughout all 1990s, only a matter whether one despised or adored that.
