Message-ID: <BKEMKALAAKNGJNBOAIGOEEEDCEAA.dfbarth@akiva.com> From: dfbarth at akiva.com (David Bartholomew) Subject: Anti-MS drivel The posts describing 'house construction' isn't a bad one, but I feel there's a better way to express it. The makers of our operating systems should be able to sell us a house with a pretty standard set of components. Walls, roof, etc. There's doors and windows in it, but the really spiffy part is that not only are all the doors very tightly locked - but that the vendor doesn't even provide the keys. You've got instructions on how to MAKE the keys, and they're nice and clear instructions. This gives us two things to bear in mind. One: services off/running securely by default. Two: RTFM. It almost gives me chills. End users should *never* *ever* *ever* have to know jack or squat about the systems they're running. Gramma should be able to just get her e-mail, and not have to worry. (I should never have to do tech support for my family, ever again... off the clock, that is.) .dfbarth
