Do you know any Windows users who have *never* encountered one? How many Windows users would believe that before Microsoft, vendors actually would take a *single* crash reported by *one* user seriously enough to investigate and produce a bugfix, and that vendors would escalate to the point of sending developers to the customer site if a system crashed multiple times and no fix was in sight in a week? For all its monopolistic abuses, the single worst thing Microsoft has done for the computer industry is lowered user expectations regarding software. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
