Is there such a thing as a ‘I hate MS
Windows’ club? If there is, I want to join it. If there isn’t, I
want to start it. Apparently there is, but guess what? It’s full of
MS techies, techies talking techy, never saying anything essential
significant or remotely relevant to the average user – the
mere 99% of us living in the real world. Like doing things without
first asking permission. Like calling something an update when it’s
actually a mistake. Like launching background programs that steal
memory time and processing power from the rightful owner. Like
stealing and then distributing personal files details and
information. Things which, in the real world, are called crimes. To
contribute to such a website and not sound computer-moronic (read
normal) you need to be … a MS Windows techie. Techies talking to
techies, have you ever heard anything more pointless? Presumably –
from Microsoft’s perspective – that’s precisely the point. Divide
and conquer. File and forget. Dump all your critics in the same loony
bin and nail a soundproof lid on it. And here’s proof: how far will
this complaint get? Bill Gates? I think not.
