Day 1: 11 posted fixes for XP totalling 30 MB of downloads. Some are labelled 'critical', but also warn that they are not for everybody. Okey dokey then. XP promises 'fewer crashes' and the ability to delete files from the hard drive. Guess what? We already have dozens of ways to delete files from our hard drives. If you didn't know that, you don't need a computer. As for the 'fewer crashes' promise, do you buy a fourth car from a salesman who has already sold you three lemons? Ignoring the obvious issues here, that being the concerns over a future mega-monopoly for MS, let's step back and take a look at what's being advertised? What's new, Bill? Why do I need to upgrade? The answer with Windows XP (and Office XP, for that matter) is that I don't. My accountant will readily agree. Thousands upon thousands of programmers could have written a bunch of dll's that would have given us XP 'functionality' given the source code. Actually, in a lot of cases you wouldn't even need the source. In a lot of cases, you wouldn't need the feature anyway. I ask again, why should I upgrade? Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I really think that resentment of MS will eventually build to the point where the PC consumer will no longer tolerate their absurd approach to software. It's the job of people like us to show that the new technology community is global, open, intelligent, fast and most importantly, absolutely necessary.
