Man, I feel very pukey. I "cannot puke no more capn". What with this article and the thought of Tony "The Witch" Blair walking down the halls of MS, Reading UK is enough to turn anyones stomach. So much for a neutral government...Time to go and pray to the porcelein goddess... Matt On Tue, 29 May 2001, Curtis Rey wrote:
I couldn't finish the article, I had to go puke. What a line of crap. This is one of the better lines of FUD I've seen in a while. Remember for FUD to be affective it must be interlaced with lots of facts - facts that are presented with a particular slant. This is that case with this article. It ignores a myriad of polls about customer and corporate discontent and loathing related to the licensing agreement and the subscription angle. It also ignores the sentiment related to IT managers that have worries about dismantling stable systems, after years of patching and tinker, to "upgrade" to XP and M$' other new offerings and start the "let's see how long we can run without a crash this time" scenario. It is obvious that this writer is playing to the misinformed and general - "I just use my computer, I don't know what makes it work" crowd.
Cheers Curtis :-/
