C reflects on A le%26#039 great turnaround

The rest,as they say, is a different story.

C Money takes a nice look at A le's turnaround from down-and-outcomputer company to the darling that it has become. My favorite quote from the article:

I love it. Windows as the Buick of the computer world. You can read the full article here.
