It doesn't represent us who were around in that old time. Do not make the mistake of thinking that this represents mainstream thought either from when it was written or of the time that it is harking back to.

There were, alas, plenty of those during the "Operating System Wars". (No, they didn't have a mainstream of their own. They weren't usually even on the same page as one another.)
