Ladies & Gentlemen:
We are facing a great crisis in the IT industry. This crisis stems from GREED. Microsoft’s greed in particular. Bill and the boys in Redmond has discovered that they can put out a new O/S, Office Suite and various other productsevery 2 to 3 years and then use their loyal MCSE and MCP troops and their vast marketing machine to shove it down the public’s throat. Now they have a “subscription” service. This insures that once you buy XP you must continue to pay Microsoft moneyor face a gradual loss of functionality and eventual shutdown of the system.
As long as the public continues to buy this garbage Microsoft will continue to create more O/S and other packages to shove down the public’s throat. My solution is simple. Boycott XP. Don’t buy any books or training materials about it, don’t express any interest in it and by no means let any software with the “XP” name into your home or business.
Hopefully if XP flops and Microsoft loses a lot of money they might re evalute their marketing and development strategies. I don’t know about the rest of you but Windows 2000 has more than enough bells and whistles to keep me busy for the next decade.
Thank you for your cooporation.
