If I could go back in time and tell my past self (say, Win95 era) that in 15 years people would be paying Microsoft money to avoid using their products, I would have had a good hard laugh.
There's something odd or wrong about an industry where one company is paid not to deliver its goods. I mean seriously, what the heck? Software is supposed to gradually get more efficient, easier to use, and generally better. Windows just keeps getting bigger and requiring more resources for roughly the same functionality.
I'm trying to imagine a car company that has a line of vehicles where each new version gets worse gas mileage, has extra wheels, gets more confusing to drive, and the hood is welded closed. But damned if it doesn't keep looking fancier. (actually, have I just described a Hummer? lol)
