What I really think is lost in all this is that the customers really want stuff to just work. They do not buy into all the OSS philosiphy. I think we often forget the unless people use the OS, we are not going to really make a change in who is the best OS. I think many are looking for something better than MS provides. I thin they are tired of all the MS... All they really want is something that works and works well. We need to provide that for them.
One good thing that has come because of all the MS problems is people no longer expect a perfect product. I remember when, it there was a bug or something did not quite work they way they thought it should, you heard about it till you either changed the program or made an exception and changed your program to work they way they wanted it. We now do not have to provide the smallest fastest, bug free code possible. Some problems are expected, and a tolerence for giving time to make changes has become acceptable. So that is a benefit I see coming from MS and their bad code. We now have open code that may be review by anyone. I think this makes for better programs and OS. -- Boyd Gerber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
