Re: Microsoft Update Headaches

["Richard B Baird" <rbaird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The sad thing is that this will have little or no impact on:
1) Windows market share on the desktop
2) MS Stock prices
3) the corporate culture at MS that "we can do anything we want because
we're MS"
4) the anti-trust case against MS.
5) the general concensus among the average computer user that software, by
it's very nature, is buggy and unstable and that there is nothing they can
do about it.

I'm SO fed up with MS.  They have the money and resources to be able to
achieve incredible things, but they continue to place the majority of thier
efforts on protecting and expanding thier ability to hold the free world
hostage with inferior products and guerilla marketing tactics.  WAKE UP
WORLD!
