Title: RE: OT NT2K vs Unix.

DAMMMNNNN.... KOOL-AID!!!!

 

To give you a little background - I was actually born and spent the first part of my childhood in Bermuda! There Kool-Aid was an inegral part of growing up for me :) As well as Oreos with a glass of milk before bed time..

 

Now I live in Worcester in the UK where Kool-Aid is not even close to available.. Oreos are however in small boxes of 12 from the local Tescos..

 

What I would give for a bucket of Kool Aid every now and then... :(

a.k.a

"Drinking the Kool-Aid"

works well in small, isolated groups.

  Consensus reality (as one of my friends calls it).  If everyone thinks
that something should work a certain way then they will alter reality so
that it works as they think it should.  With all these ads they can get the
masses to believe that it really works now and then it actually will (even
if it's not supposed to work properly).   :)

Hey, I saw the ads on TV.  Microsoft now makes enterprise software, which
gives sa's peace of mind...

It always amazes me how companies identify a problem, then create ads to
turn people's perception around.  So now Microsoft is telling people that
their systems are reliable and never crash, so system administrators can
relax.

Hopefully with Win2K they actually fixed the problems, and are not just
posting ads on TV to turn people's perception around to boost sales.

Eventually I will figure out how the world works.  It's taking me a while,
though.

        There is, however, one significant difference: stability. If
Microsoft
        starts making stable
        products, we might just as well start using them, but  knowing
Microsoft,
        I'm not overly
        worried.
