guys,
m$ winXX primary goal is user friendliness and ease of use and not
security. as we all know, the more user friendliness or ease of use of a
certain OS, security is at stake. as i said, this is what *users requested*
and these users are not computer geeks but a simple desktop users. you cant
call m$ or the users who requested it as a *stupid*, m$ wants their
customers/users to keep them happy despite there are lots of OS competitor
out there to switch from. this prove and the fact that, 90% around the globe
is using a m$ products. now, can you call these 90% users are stupid because
they are using m$ stupid (what you claimed) products?
honestly speaking, im using m$ windows 2000 as my desktop and linux
(and also other unix OS) for my servers. im not a martyr person and im just
simply applying practicality and economics here. xwindows has a long way to
go to catch up m$ windows features as desktop, applications software, user
friendliness and ease of use are concerns.
fooler.
