574924	2007-08-03 02:34:00	I have always felt that I buy a computer to run my software, not an operating system. The work the computer does should be for me. An operating system shouldn't do anything except load programmes and store files. If it needs gigabytes of storage and lots of CPU time to do that, something has gone wrong.	Graham L (2)

I have alway felt that M$oft should spend much of their effort on SPacks to REDUCE the size of each program within their OS. I know this is possible it just needs better tighter coding. But how can we let Bill know what most of us throughout the world feel ? Whats his email addy again ? Regards Digby	Digby (677)

I know this is possible it just needs better tighter coding. Considering it took a team of 45 people 3 months just to create the Start menu in Vista, I doubt that MS will ever have better, tighter coding.:rolleyes:	winmacguy (3367)
574927	2007-08-04 02:26:00	That wasn't the whole start menu, that was just the 'shutdown' bit of the start menu. And if I recall rightly, it took a year. :groan:	Erayd (23)

And if I recall rightly, it took a year. :groan: Only a year?:eek: "“The reason we come up with new versions is not to fix bugs. It's absolutely not. It's the stupidest reason to buy a new version I ever heard. When we do a new version we put in lots of new things that people are asking for. And so, in no sense, is stability a reason to move to a new version. It's never a reason.” Gates was explaining that people buy software to obtain perceived value, and that users commonly don't see value in paying for fixes to a product's outstanding flaws. People generally expect to gain significant new features. Of course, even there Apple has Gates beat: it has delivered three paid OS upgrades in the same period Microsoft has struggled just to deliver Vista."	winmacguy (3367)
