Microsoft is pushing up the daisies
U gebruikt software van een dood bedrijf. Microsoft is dood, kaput, onder de zoden. De madeliefjes omhoog aan het drukken. Heeft de emmer omgetrapt. Het hoekje omgegaan. Een ex-Microsoft. Of, zoals een Slashdot-reaguurder het zo mooi verwoordde:
The last gasp was 2001 when they brought out XP. It took them five years to fix its bugs and now they have to kill XP in order for Vista to have any chance. That last gasp brought in some oxygen to keep the beast barely alive, but it is all gone now. If they had done an Apple and put some UNIX underneath they would not have to be a bully to protect their turf. They would not need to throw out silly features to sell the stuff. It would be good. MSFT made it to monopoly by being in the right place at the right time and it would have kept monopoly if the product had been any good. Instead of improving it by using sound design, they kept on adding crap and using dirty tricks to keep the monopoly. You can only fool all of the people for a period of time and they wake up eventually.
It is too late now. They have burnt too many bridges. Even the hardware makers hate MSFT because they changed VISTA just enough to break all the drivers. Millions of school kids are experiencing the richness of GNU/Linux. Dell and HP are getting serious about Linux machines (maybe). The EU may realize that mega-fines are not enough and outright ban MSFT. Even Uncle Sam is discouraging the use of Windows for security. MSFT is like a long-necked dinosaur trapped in a tar pit. The brain is so small and so far away that it has not received the final BSOD yet. The body is cooling slowly because of the large mass to surface ratio.
Gecondoleerd met het rottende karkas op uw harde schijf.

Uw hardware kan overigens nog gered worden.
