Comment "forced" upgrades (Score 1) 1037
I hated getting a new office PC with XP on it. I know the IT guys would not choose it if they could lease the new PCs with Win2k instead ... but they can't. Sure, you can turn off the fancy UI, but when you go map a drive for somebody else, it stinks. Why would anyone really buy this stuff if they weren't "forced" to take it with their new Dell/Gateway/Compaq/IBM? Somehow it reminds me of the MPAA complaining about the text messaging. Everybody sends out the early warning that XP Home is junk, but with Micro$oft's deal with Dell and the rest, people get it anyway.
