205893 2004-01-07 14:29:00 Just spent the last half hour reading this article,very grim read indeed.

I would say that a lot of it would be of interest to all user's of this forum.

205894 2004-01-07 17:58:00 I only managed to read half so far, will read the rest later. But Damn thats so depressing. :-(

Although I did like the part where Linux will cause lots of problems for Microsoft.

205895 2004-01-08 04:08:00 Interesting reading Metla. Consolidates a lot of what has been debated in this forum and elsewhere although, I gather from the style, the guy has a beef with MS you could understand that if even half is correct. It gives a useful insight into monopolistic thinking.

Another interesting link (www.hevanet.com) from the same article, but by a different author, raising security and privacy issues.

205896 2004-01-08 10:17:00 Yeah,the guy definitly dislikes MS,but even filtering out his conclusions the picture looks pretty bad.

The new round of software from ms looks to me like the worst thing to happen to the pc industry ever,I can see it setting the market back years.

What are the positives to upgrading to this new os?,i can see plenty of negatives but not 1 positive.

And all this aparently driven by less sales of XP then what they desired,Well wake up MS,the word is spreading,Your next OS is going to flop massivly.(i hope)

Maybe its time for the market to shift to linux,Get compters back on track rather then be a glorified xbox designed to give MS an ongoing profit from subscripton fees.
