Comment Its to kill the disk huggers (Score 1) 428
after reading these comments, i wonder how many of you realise what microsoft is REALLY trying to do.
My parents have a small business, ive set them up with a network between their computers, and we have computers at home, which are also networked. ALL of them have internet access.
So logically they use 1.44 meg floppies for ALL their intercomputer transfers!!!!!
yes, it frustrates me also.
but i think that this is the NORM in small businesses these days. the people behind the computers dont have the enthuasiam to learn how to use the networks available to them efficently.
by using a disk, they have a physical object which they think is safe. they also have no problem finding a disk in their breifcase. where as finding a file on a server causes many problems.
I think microsofts aim is to get all these windows 3.1 type people onto an easily usable diskless enviroment.
