mostly it bellied up cause they spent a lot of time/money/effort to get
pre-installed as a dual boot on a major vendor (i forget who) and just
before everything rolled MS came in and claimed the vendor wasn't allowed.
so they removed the boot option but left the OS pn its own partition. if
you knew it was there and did some hacking you could run it. if not you
just thought your harddrive was smaller than advertised. cute.

It would appear that for the first time there has appeared a crack in the edifice. not the first crack and perhaps not the biggest. the licence change was a crack itself. look at it from their view: you needed to change to a method of demanding a steady flow of cash rather than count on hype and new PC sales. having merged the pro (NT) and home (9x) versions you suddenly lost a part of the upgrade cycle. have to raise the price too. between the two factors more than half your customers suddenly say they are looking elsewhere. even worse, hardware prices are so low, by the time you buy the OS and the office setup, you have spent more in software than hardware. seems pricey to surf the web and write a document now and then. remember more than 50% of users almost never do more. plus you have been in court for years, and despite millions and a few tactics that make you look bad to the people who are in the know, you basically come out with a draw. tough break. after years of being told your security sucks, nimda basically kicks your butt. so you announce a new security policy. the result? you look bad. many a tech feels like the CTO of my wifes company, a fortune 500 company told me he feels: we always knew their security was bad, but 6000 patches later we get hit by bugbear. so what did those patches do? after the first few customers fled, the snowball started. nearly everyday a new company or government says they are going open source. and every announcement makes a few more companies brave enough to try. soon you have to give price cuts and incentives to companies like that aussie telco. tens of thousands of desktops switching would be a hell of a blow. the damn hobby software is now backed by companies like HP and dell and IBM. plus it seems to be winning the server war. OSS powers the web, and the latest reports say you have been padding your server numbers with empty domains containing no web site. you only hold about 20% of the web server market it turns out. damn. plus you have made an enemy of almost everyone in the industry. none of them can compete with you alone, but they all smell blood in the water now, and they all want a piece. still, you have 3 things on your side: money, massive user base, and preinstalls. except the preinstalls are slipping, and your future user base looks bad. systems are being sold at places like walmart with that damn toy OS, and companies like HP and Sun are getting into the act with low cost machines for companies. they even have an office suite to replace yours, and that is the real cash cow. then a survey by some universities says only 1.8% of pc users run linux on the desktop! at last a victory! but it also says that nearly 20% of college students use it, and even higher in tech schools. these are your future customers, running the other OS. 20% maybe more. and a free test drive is hard to fight. time to take action, you change the retoric. no more calling it cancer, no more ignoring it. we will compete on features, not price. but you know that cheaper software that does the job good enough is often the winner over featres. that is how your office suite took share from players like Corel and IBM after all. and this software is more than good enough. in many cases it is better. the big gun, FUD, doesn't work either. when people can try it themselves and see, and they already know you to be a long time liar, the FUD falls on deaf ears. the last asset, money, is startiong to get tied up between courts, payed off poloticians, dropping economy, and great ventures like the xbox.

it will be _much_ more stable assuming your hardware is all good. check

easier to fix? at first you won't think so while you learn a new system,
but this list will help. later you will find it really is easier most of
the time.

On Wednesday 02 October 2002 3:37 pm, Steve Ballmer did speak thus unto me: HTML HEAD STYLE TYPE=text/css snip pI spend a lot of my time thinking about how Microsoft can do a better job of serving its customers. I'm convinced that we need to do more to establish and maintain broad connections with the millions of people who use our products and services around the world. We need to more thoroughly understand their needs, i agree. start by spamming your customers. i use linux, because, frankly, i upped my standards. so up yours. pFirst I should give you some context on why I am sending you this email. This is one in an occasional series of mails that Bill Gates and I, and periodically other Microsoft executives, will be sending to people who are interested in hearing from us about technology and public-policy and even people who don't want shit from you apparently. pIf you would like to hear from us in the future, please click a href=http://register.microsoft.com/subscription/subscribeMe.asp?lcid=103 3id=155here/a. If you don't want to hear from us again, you needn't do anything. We will not send you another of these emails unless you choose to subscribe at the link above./p great MS joins the ranks of opt-out bullshitters. and i thought windows ME was as low as you could go. pIn my career, I've worked at only one other place besides Microsoft. I marketed brownie mix and blueberry muffin mix for one of the largest consumer products companies. so you have always sold pre-packaged junk. great. Even so, not every new grocery or drug-store item succeeds. maybe they need an illegally maintained monopoly? pSatisfying customers is what it's all about with technology products, then how did MS's good enough strategy work? And customers expect the same high quality and reliability in computing devices and software as they do in consumer products. clearly not, or you would be pan handling on the street. That's why our customers still encounter bugs despite the rigorous and extensive stress testing and beta testing we do. With Windows 2000 and Windows XP, we dramatically improved the stability and reliability of our platform and a lofty goal that was! from zero to... well, not zero. pThe process of finding and fixing software problems has been hindered by a lack of reliable data on the precise nature of the problems customers encounter in the real world. Freeze-ups and crashes can be incredibly irritating, but rarely do customers contact technical support about them; instead, they close the program. Even when customers do call support and we resolve a problem, we often do not glean enough detail to trace its cause or prevent it from recurring. this should help, the problem is they were running your software. after i stopped running your software (3 years ago) those problems went away. pThere are risks in offering this option to have software phone home especially when nobody trusts you. with good reason i might add. pAlso, customers may wonder what we do with their reports and whether their privacy is protected. We use advanced security technologies to help protect these error reports, which are gathered on a cluster of dedicated Microsoft servers as secure as your other servers? i feel safer already. pWe've been amazed by the patterns revealed in the error reports that customers are sending us. ione percent of bugs cause half of all errors/i./p would that bug be IE or outlook? pWith this immensely valuable feedback from our customers, we're now able to prioritize debugging work on our products to achieve the biggest improvement in customers' experience. well anything has to be an improvement over your past bend over and take it eXPerience. Some 450 companies have accessed our database of error reports related to their drivers, is that the private data you mentioned before? pThere's much more I would like to share with you about these and other initiatives on behalf of customers, but I wanted to be (relatively) brief. well your bloat shines through even by email. - -- A senior Microsoft Corp. executive told a federal court that some Microsoft code was so flawed it could not be safely disclosed.

If, in fact, they will allow no appeal to a civilian body independent of the executive branch - putting the lives of defendants solely in the hands of the President - then they will not respect basic American, and international, ideals of fairness and justice. The ACLU's comments were sparked by media reports that Department of Defense regulations, which are expected to be released this week and are necessary to define the scope of the Presidential order authorizing the tribunals, will not allow defendants to appeal their sentences, even death sentences, to an civilian body independent of the executive branch.
