Bearded One, if you've bought a PC anytime in the last decade, you would know that the startup screens are indeed vastly modified from vendor to vendor. Nearly all if not all OEMs splash their logo all over the wall paper of the desktop. Go to a computer store. What more do vendors want? They can add any software they like, including Netscape Communicator, and some do. The HP Kayak workstation is a case in point. They have a shortcut right on the desktop to the preloaded and default browser Netscape Communicator.
All Microsoft asks is that the start button/task bar be shown on the bottom of the screen, and a few of the standard windows 95 icons such as recycle bin, my computer, etc.
Of course, after the first boot, users are free to minimise the task bar, rename my computer, delete my computer, delete the recycle bin, etc. For gosh sakes Windows is the most flexible OS out there, far more flexible, from what MS says, than Apple's OS.
There's simply no case here. Sorry. |
