The *worst* part about it is that, believe it or not, he's *absolutely right*.

LOL?
However, we (as consumers) haven't wanted to face up to this.
Please dont include me on 'that' list...
While some of us *individually* have (and upgraded to Windows 2000 or XP), the great majority of us haven't and (for whatever reason) refuse to upgrade.
Its right or wrong that?. Why any person on this world should "upgrade" their system?. Or a company?. Why?. Because M$ say that?. Come on. They do the software.
I will tell you a simple "experience". Here, where I live, I try to survive. Doing what I learn to do. Programming. I have costumers... They still using old PC like XT (yes 8086) with my programs running. And until now, I still supporting
my system program.
Why the biggest software company on the planet earth cant do the same?. Simple, there force to the people to upgrade, on their time. When M$ think they that to do. And the people
pay for that!!.
Buy new machines to run their software. And Bill Gate$ gain every day a step on his monopoly game. Yep, he wants to control everything.
If 9x is an unsecure system, then who to blame?. Hackers?. Bugs?. or M$?. They develop a OS, and many ppl use their unsecure system. They should provide an solution. And no say:
upgrade... Because many poeple can't pay their price.
And whats next?. When XP will be repaced with 'longhorn'. They should be upgrade again?. Why?. Because XP is
untrusted?. And longhorn yes?.
Who gain everytime more money to support that developing company? (I mean M$). Can you pay the price?. Can you support the rest of your life that?. They upgrade, and you pay, without questions... Good Slave

.
And whats next, a trusted computer?. Where you can do what M$ want you can do?. Where is the free choose?. Where is the freedom to produce or develop anything?. Limited on the imagination of M$?.
Where you wanna go today?. Where M$ wants?. To pay M$ Bills?. Can you trust in M$?. M$ its a company, and their objective is make it everyday more big. Nothing more. The dont do this for 'the software' evolution. They do this because they gain billions every year.If they can force to the people upgrade (Im not talking about 9x) when the conditions are favorable, they will win the game.
One more thing, the rest of the world
doesnt have the economic condition that US have. Remember that... Before you sleep.
