Windoze is the last vestige of planned obsolescence Because of the complexity of the operating systems of today, I doubt that's possible. The problem is that the OS is all encompassing with things that should be optional, being coded right into the OS. It is unnecessary complexity but part of the Microsoft monopoly thinking. I need the same OS to take a few hundred bytes a minute from my weather station and post it on the web as I would use to run a small publishing company But what is it that the system "doesn't" do for you? What part of the system is keeping you from doing what you could do without it?? OSX has never locked up on me in the middle of a long word processing document between auto saves. Windows did. Fool. If you anticipate it locking up, you should autosave more often |

What part of the system is keeping you from doing what you could do without it?? It is the amount of bloatware I need to drag around for such a mundane task and I was actually buying new, the cost. It is like being forced to buy a class A motor home, just to drive a few miles to work. Linux would be a good alternative but the number of hardware manufacturers who support it are limited because MS has such a monopoly share of the market. So, if you strip the "bloatware" from the system, what would be the benefit? Systems would be more proprietary like in the 80's and a base system would cost 2 grand... It would not be a smaller system, still you need a decent screen to work anyway, I just don't see what you are suffering carrying around a few million extra bits of info on a chip as small as your fingernail (nothing at all like having to carry around a "class A motor home")...It is a system designed to handle as much of what the average person throws at it as possible. If you need more than that to run your company, it's time to hire some programmers and build that system. We had a company a few years back that needed such a propritary system for their business, they paid us thousands to build it. For 99% of the world population, Windoze will do anything they need it to do. |

Absolutely, but that was the driving force that made WINDOWS the most popular operating system of all time, and made PC technology and the internet accessible by virtually everyone regardlesss of technical expertise. No small accomplishment. It required brilliant vision, dedicated leadership and focus, not to mention a huge amount of work. Microsoft had to be pulled kicking and screaming to network their computers. Does anyone remember Novell. |
