To set it straight, Guy was quoting me. It would have to be a BIG
depression ;-)
Duane,
I appreciated your comments but you missed the boat on what I was saying. I
was making light of all the problems Microsoft goes through when the release
a product. They are constantly evolving the same product and usually with
the same, if not more, bugs. My comments may not have fit exactly with what
you were saying earlier, but it reminded me of all the frustrations I go
through with M$ product installs/updates. I'm currently going through one
at home with XP Home Edition. I like the O/S but it is a challenge right
now. Not a big one, but a challenge none-the-less.
Again, here is what I said. (if you take offense to it I'm sorry, none was
intended)
************************
So, that's why Microsoft's products never mature ! they are constantly
evolving, creating new bugs. If you have a mature system and software
you're heading for the bit bucket.
I don't think the term "growth path" is the correct term to use here.
Microsoft has been around for eon's and I don't consider their products on a
'growth path'; more like a Ferris wheel or a merry-go-round. (depends on the
year).
What a throw-away world we live in. Maybe I should start a landfill
business?

Guy misquotes me...
I didn't write what you attributed to me.
That came from someone else.
I don't agree with that individual's position and would
prefer to NOT be associated with it :-)
