Well I hear M.S. Ballmer sounding the company defense verbage. I retired from the Army in 1986 and moved to Tacoma WA. I watched microsoft go through it's growing pains and it seems that unlike other mega companies they are still claimung growing pains and it will all work out meanwhile the consumer is paying for the R&D for each release with no compensition for the R&D they do and report back to microsoft. Each time a piece of crap program is released and consumers/customers have problems they effectivly are told the same as the Army told thousands of Vietnam vets for years all the while they are dying from dieases related to agent orange that lead baloon didn't float just like the game microsoft is playing with it's customers and as soon as an enterprising person comes up with an alternative microsoft may learn how the shoe feels on the other foot. My point if I have not made it clear is Microsoft has mega bucks to the tenth power yet they still put out substandard work and should be ashamed from Bill Gates all the way down to the lowest code jockey being paid o so well for doing a crap job and yet they show up in public and smile all the while selling the customer junk.
P.S. How many tries dose it take to realize you need to fix it!!!??
Thank you.
