Did your company pay you to say all that stuff about how clueless your customers are, in order to drum up business for your support services? After all, that is how successful companies work. (Is there an emoticon for a "wry" grin?) Do you speak on the phone to these folks? Is that why you have to be so abusive and condescending here, because you would get fired for talking to your customers like this?

A bit of actual information to back up ToySoldier and Bearded One here, against the ever well informed, all knowing friends of Bill. Just in case you're wondering, there's plenty of favorable stuff about Microsoft here, as the title indicates; certain participants in this forum have seen fit to post the good bits, uh, out of context, here and elsewhere. But, to the point. Most Regard Microsoft Favorably, a Poll Shows nytimes.com Still, many Americans appear to be embracing the information age tentatively, if not fearfully. More than half of all computer users, 52 percent, say they have never installed a software program -- a basic step in computing. While technology enthusiasts never tire of extolling the virtues of computers as personalized tools of empowerment, the Times/CBS poll suggests that a large share of the computer-using public has no interest in tailoring their machines or changing them. Now, this part of the poll is obviously bogus, while the parts that show a generally good impression of Microsoft are the gospel truth. Another one of those objectivity and bias things. I'm sure that ed and friends will be happy to "focus on our debate" on this one. Cheers, Dan.
