Agreed William, this is just what I mean.
As far as I've ever found out microsoft is frankly just concerned with their
bank balance and don't give a dam about their customers accept as a
statistic.
And lets not get on to their production methods, what they pay the people
who actually assemmble! pc parts or the like.
The only reason I use windows is for convenience sinse most things run on
it, which is I suspect why ninety percent of people do, not necessarily
because I actually like microsoft at all.
Beware the grue!

Hi dark.
Microsoft only invests development time where they stand to gain or
lose money. For the most part, even dropping support for vb was based
on the fact that they were forcing developers to switch to vb.net so
they could sell them a new set of development tools. The basic
programming syntax stayed the same, but they changed the developement
libraries to not be the same as those used with vb6. They did improve
the software with vb.net, but vb6 wasn't making them enough money to
justify fixing the security wholes and bugs for vb6.
Assisting developers or users of code to run a 10 year old program
does not gain them much sales, so they will invest the development
time somewhere else. This is also part of what drives the changes to
the user interfaces. They tell their customers "see it looks
different, so it is new" where as most of the code is reused over
windows versions.
I agree with those who said that for innovation to happen we need
change, but change does not always indicate something better.

Frankly dallas where games are concerned, I couldn't give a monkies
how good the newer codes are.
As I said, I don't really care about how powerful or anything else a
system is, I care about what I can do with it.
That's why i stil have a snes, sinse I can play all the game i rather
like on it, despite it being no where near up to the standard of
todays games' consoles.
As I said, I just would like microsoft to acknolidge this, perhaps
with a compatibility pack option that could be downloaded for those
who needed it.
Beware the grue!
