Stacy,
I did tech support on Windows for Workgroups. You think Win95/98 was
bad...

I like Microsoft's products...I think some of their business ploys are
a
little dirty but hey...It's business. We could turn this into a real
philosophical debate but cmon...the only difference we can make as a
consumer is watchout for our best interests.
I will say though that Win2k was their first operating system.
Everything
before that was crap. I did tech support for 2 years and sys admin for
3.
Don't even get me started on win95/98. ;-)

(deep breath)
Why is everyone do agro agro about Microsoft? What do the majority of
you
guys use?! I would assume Windows. MS do what they need to do to
survive
in still a very competitive market. Anyone can make software with
correct
knowledge and tools - its not as if they are countries using their
power to
corrupt other nations is it? <cough cough> ring a bell?
Jeez, look at Apple - they release an already 2 years late OS which
you
would have to re-purchase all your software for anyway?! erm and
thats not
underhand? Apple are in teh position they are in for one reason, they
didn't
license the OS rights - nail in the coffin right there. Oh and it
doesn't
work well - something Windows does, despire the hear 'say - Windows
95/98 I
will give you, they were pants, but NT, 2K are pretty stable - I have
never
had to reboot a server in anger.
I suggest you guys take the time out to realise just how much work was
put
into making the MS business and maybe take some time out from your
bitchin
to read Randell E. Stross's book - The Microsoft Way; it is a fair
expose of
the man and the company - I think it will open a lot of eyes.
Maybe the QT thing was deliberate, maybe it wasn't - but there will be
a
resolution.
