Actually, the Russian system is based on this simple premise:

        Since the Communist "classless society" is actually MUCH more
strictly hierarchal than western capitalist societies, highly educated
"underlings" are no threat to the power of those at the top.... So,
they did everything possible to educate the masses....secure in the
knowledge that even the genuises will be successfully suppressed by
the rest of the politico-economic system.

Here in the united states, where the class structure is VERY fluid,
well-educated genuises at the bottom are a considerable threat to those
at that top...because those genuises can EASILY rise up and usurp the
current "kings of the hill"...thus, the US public schools have evolved
to a point where the primary goal is to produce half-educated droids
who cannot maximize the potential of their intellectual ability.

Are you sure about that?    That applies to everyone?    It probably depends on
whether the left or right half of your brain is dominant.  Some people have a
much easier time with visual clues (GUI), some with verbal clues (command

In my brief experience Microsoft makes better products when there is a

The biggest problem is that Microsoft has a horrid eye and stomach for
deep architecture, but they have delusions of superiority here ever
since they were lucky enough to get the PC-DOS contract.

Because Microsoft decided to ship applications instead of easily

with different interfaces.

That's a business choice, not a technical problem.

Then there is also the security issue, if the application is a hybrid local

the your private finances remain private?  As for on-line up to date
information provided by Quicken, have they forgotten about disconnected

finances *are* sensitive information.

I do use it; I use it all the time.  I'm not just *guessing* that
Microsoft software is crap, you know; this is real life.

About four years ago, the world of network management software was swept
by a huge wave of attempts by Microsoft to monopolize.  Buying into the
lies, FUD, and crapware, every major vendor prepared an NT
implementation of their products.  It was considered an absolute
requirement that anyone who wanted to maintain a market would have to at
least pay lip service to the delusion that the entire world would soon
be migrating away from 'proprietary' Unix, to the 'standard' server OS;
NT.  It took years, and millions of wasted dollars, and thousands of
unhappy customers, before most people (besides yours truly, at least,
though I wasn't the only one by far) could even begin to admit that NT
simply cannot compete, when it comes to the requirements for
performance, scalability, and reliability necessary to use NT in place
of Unix.  I've used Solaris and HP-UX almost routinely for about six
years, now, and generally know more about the real world of Unix systems
than most 'programmer-cum-admin' people whom I teach, though I'm not a
'Unix expert', by a long shot.  Most vendors still support an NT
version; almost all are rather surprisingly quick to point out that it
is not considered sufficient for any 'real work', though plenty of
customers who have bought into One Microsoft Way would like to think
otherwise.

I'm on the customer's side; this isn't a 'holy war', its just plain
business sense.  Sure, I have to use NT for office stuff, whether I like
it or not, just like millions of others do; because Microsoft has been
breaking the law for more than a decade, with that particular goal in
mind.  *I'm* certainly not going to recommend that anyone *else* pay for
Microsoft's crimes.  Just because MS software is crap, and anyone with
more than half a brain should, and does, avoid using it like the plague,
doesn't mean we're always free to do so.
