Modular software (not having your calendar unseparable from your email), least priv and other security practices, etc. are all to be expected from a platform. And they don't provide these things. I would think it more unprofessional to sugar coat the inadequacies of the platform so as not to appear overly harsh. That kind of thing only hurts clients/customers/users. > product and company bashing is in horrid taste, often rather > inaccurate, and paints a picture of non-technical people who use the > products (often not by their choice) as uncivilized neanderthals who > don't deserve access to technology. It is more a matter of the non-technical people not being qualified to make such decisions thus the decisions are made badly. > Microsoft creates some of the world's most widely used and popular > software ever. This says nothing about the quality of their software or whether the above criticism is deserved. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
