Just because you say so, I don't think so. Give me a link or two that says this is so. I can post zillions of links about unhappy MS customers from post DOS days. Ahhh, herein lies the problem. You hear a lot of complaining from MS users becuase there are 150 million of them. If every single Mac user complained about the Mac, it wouldn't be as loud as the complaints of 10% of Windows users. You hear a lot, so you assume all other things are good and MS is bad. What do you think it would be like if there were 150 million people complaining about all the incompatibilities of UNIX flavors, or Mac users bitching about the omnipresent "system bomb"? At any rate, if you really like to hear form people on these other things, take a look in any of the Usenet forums for OS/2, Notes, Solaris or any UNIX flavor, etc. It's just fashionable to complain about MS software in the press. The only good OS MS ever had was DOS and from then on till now it's nothing but crap. My last post was a link of a typical MS consumer with a bit of smarts. As for the rest of the masses like I said before the DOJ has to break up MS for them to get a half decent product. How would breaking them up result in a better product?
