How is it ethical for Microsoft update to change my default browser to IE instead of Firefox? HOW is it ethical for Microsoft Update to put an MSN login screen into my computers Start up routine?

If i wanted these settings, I WOULD SET THEM MYSELF!!!!

I've gotta get out. I have to release myself from the meddlings of these bafoons! I have really had enough. Software updates require me to give away information about myself. In order to download a trial version of Project2007, i had to give a heap of my personal details, including my email address, so that i can try out their software and potentially PAY THEM over £250 of my money. Am i a customer or am i simply another victim? There work ethic stinks!! This company has become a monster and i've had enough of them meddling with MY computer!!!!! 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

Absolute rubbish! Dos was a dirty hack of unix, everyone knows that. They've never had an original idea in their whole existence.

I can't do that at work. We're so reliant on pi$$ing MS products now the move would cost a fortune and Microsoft know that only too well!! They use this as an excuse to f*** with their users cos they know people can't just jump ship without serious effort and money.

Is Vista any good? Does it come with a whole new range of exciting security issues?

Try to be more MS independent then.
Here in Portugal a lotta companies are doing that, so that they can jump ship eventually. Some of them are doing it. Don't ask me exactly how they're doing it cause i just heard it on a tech show...

Is Vista any good? I have never heard anyone go "Wow, i just upgraded to Vista, it's soooo much better than XP" and i seriously doubt i ever will. MS are so worried about it they've even taken XP off the market. WOOHOO! Inspires real confidence that does. The only threat to their new operating system is.....wait for it.....THEIR OLD OPERATING SYSTEM!!! Whoopie f***ing doo 😴😴😴

That's pretty much what I figured.

It seems odd that once XP reached a certain level of stability, it was replaced.

Converting to Linux makes a lot of sense. It's free, the upgrades are free, the software is free (or at least reasonably priced with none of this 'Corporate Licence' rip off bullsh;t MS churn out). The only problem is you have to flipping train all your staff to use it. Your companies productivity takes a nose dive for 3 or 4 months while everyone gets adjusted. Most businesses just can't afford this. Financially this wipes out any money you save through changing. MS are effectively holding the whole IT World by the balls and they're squeezing a little bit harder every day. I hate them with all my being!!!😠

What about giving the employes some courses on it for two months before changing? It would cost a little bit but then it'll pay off big time. I think that's how they done it.
If you want a company that lasts for a long time I think that makes some sense.
