how is voting with thier dollars?
I don't know, how is voting with thier dollars? Look what you typoed, Reggie.
I know, I know, the omniscient "invisible hand" has chosen whatever Microsoft chooses to put in the Windows distribution. Same with Windows 98. In the current context, that's supposed to be because of all the Windows software out there, of which Microsoft is just a tiny part. Anyway, at retail, the "invisible hand" says the people want that grotty old retail release of 2.5 years ago. Of course, they have a lot of choices.
As for polls, there was that attack poll Microsoft commissioned, and a lot of self-selected samples. I've seen a few ZDnet things go against Bill, but they tend to list two fairly ridiculous alternatives. Then, there was that old Merrill Lynch CIO poll, which went pretty heavily in favor of antitrust action, but Bill knows how to go over the CIO's head, get a Microsoft shop ordained from Dilbert's bosses at the very top. They know better than to listen to the technoweenies.
Cheers, Dan. |
