Does everybody hate MS? Friday, March 10, 2006 (00:31:14) Posted by gummi Why does everyone seem to hate or complain about Microsoft? Granted they have more money than anyone can ever use, and some of their software is a bit pricey (what isn't these days?!?!). Just about every virus was written to affect MS products, and windows update is an absolute must. But most of the people and organizations that are complaining so much are the one's that made microsoft so big! I've known so many people that say they hate microsoft, but yet it's what they use at the office and is their choice for the home. Go figure! I have never seen a program that didn't have bugs, on any OS. Because MS has the most widely used OS's, that's what you hear about. But believe me, linux and other's have the same bugs. MS offers resources to notify you when bugs are found and fixed, every IT person and home user should subscribe to these, unfortunately they don't, or they procrastinate the installation of patches. That's why you see so many systems affected by viruses. You can't blame anyone but yourself if you don't keep up to date on patches, no matter what OS you run! I would like to see MS release a special version of server running the windows and ofice update applications for ISP's and bussinesses that can only be updated from certain certified servers. This will help cut down on internet bandwith for everyone. I would also like to see MS release a console only version of windows NT, no graphical interface at all, except from remote machines. Then remove the gui from some other servers and services. Content received from: Gummisoft, http://gummisoft.com
