That's Bill Gate's major innovation--his solution to the
question "How can you make loads of money off a product
that never breaks, and never wears out?"
His answer is a combination of making sure the thing you buy is defective, and or deficient, or of making it obsolete, and parcelling out improvements (and even fixes) as slowly as possible.
Hence changing Word and Excel's formats, changing the OS to break old applications, shipping bugs, security issues, etc.
It just hit me yesterday--I've oft noted the harm he's done selling lousy software, but I just realized...he breaks our tools. My superb DOS file compare, search routine, editor, directory utility, parallel port-
operated interfaces, truly nifty ISA A/D board... broken.
The advance of civilization has been one of building tool upon tool, hand tools ==> machines ==> machine tools ==> better machines ==> better tools. Same for software. And he breaks ours.
Thanks Bill.
I was just reading that right before Russia invaded Georgia, there was a cyberattack on Georgia's basic network infrastructure launched from the Botnets that
Bill Gates created through the above policies. I can
only conclude that Microsoft's ongoing refusal to make
a version of windows that cannot be remotely controlled
by criminals is now
