High expectations of Microsoft products? Somebody has those?

I remember people standing in the lines in the front of the stores at the release day of Windows 95. MS XBOX and optical mouse caused some hullabaloo, too.

XP is good enough that they should leave it alone. Vista is trying to
mimic the Apple OS, but without the programming skills.

Vista is an attempt to do the things finally in the right way, when everything had gone too far for making changes.


Word is an astounding POS.

IE, Outlook, and any other Microsoft products should not be allowed
anywhere near a tcp/ip port.

I am perfectly all right with the functionality of MS Office 97. The further releases only introduced the incompatibilities.

Their self-flattering prose is, as usual, disgusting.

What I dislike is that MS is selling not the utility software but the BS concepts of "cyberspace" and "the digital style of life".
