A one-minute clip of Steve Jobs saying Microsoft has no taste. It is vintage interview footage about design and product sensibility.
HN drops it into Microsoft threads as a quick, quotable jab that people feel still holds.

The whole snippet, for anyone who hasn't seen it: this video (It's great vintage Steve Jobs. He's trying to sound high-minded for a documentary-interview, but he really can't resist getting some digs in.)
> The AI rip-off was not just ugly. It was careless, blatantly amateuristic, and lacking any ambition, to put it gently. That pretty much describes Microsoft and all they do. Money can't buy taste. He was right: this video
> Microsoft who drew a box in AutoCad and called it a day "Microsoft has no taste": this video as true now as it was in the early 90's.
