interesting....I am totally annoyed with Microst and their need to gouge their customers by continually changing their software so that they can make lots of money. who could disagree with that?

This biography of Windows XP is very well done. I can remember most of it. I am totally annoyed with Microst and their need to gouge their customers by continually changing their software so that they can make lots of money

Msoft appears to have now become a company needing to ‘modify the wheel’ every other year with the sole purpose of keeping investors reasonably happy and their employees in a job.
as a socialist I am all for that – but not at the usually punitive prices msoft demands for the ‘wheel modifiation’!
e.g. Apple new o/s $29, Msoft $129+.........................
