Dwight,
Thanks for responding.
>> Paul, you totally lost me on the connection between Win98 and Y2K. >> Win98 is Y2K compliant, as is Win95.
I agree with you that both products are Y2k-compliant. But that
is not my point. What I mean is that the bottomline, the infra-structure on which we build our ever increasing society,
is no longer under control.
We have to face reality. We can not continue to grow without a
solid baseline, because our society will be a house of cards.
The world can not longer afford to spoil resources for the intro-
duction of new technologies. Win 98 is just a symbol for that.
It is not only the product, the introduction will speed up sales
of other products, faster processors, faster PC's. All this products
need to be produced, shipped, implemented, we need to train people,
we will use resources for big advertising campagnes, etc.
I have nothing against the introduction of new technologies, I have
nothing against (most of) the products of Microsoft, I am using
their products every day (although I have a netscape-browser, more
solid).
But not at this moment. We have more important things to do. Like
allocating our (human) resources to garantuee the bottomline is
under control. From that moment we can continue to grow.
Hope you get my point.
With regards,
Paul |
