Ain't that the truth. Balmer must be the biggest A-Hole since Steve Jobs during the dark days at Apple, when he would meet people in the hallway or elevator, ask them "what have you done to make money for us today?", and if they didn't have a good answer, FIRE THEM ON THE SPOT!
Can you imagine working for someone like that? LIFE IS TOO SHORT!
Oh yeah, they're still supporting XP. Will be for years. In fact, new netbooks still ship with XP (most of them, anyway...some have Win 7, a few even have Vista).
This is why the new Mac commercial is so brilliant. It's a "time-machine" type of thing, where Mac and PC go back in time, to where PC has made the same promises all the way back to Windows 2.
We're still patching XP after EIGHT YEARS! How about working on fixing an operating system, really fixing it, before introducing the exciting, next new flavor!
A young woman is sitting in what looks like an internet cafe', talking about how she "hated it when her computer would freeze and crash all the time. Now there's Windows 7, and the problems are gone...." something like that.
Think about it. If her computer was "freezing and crashing", whose operating system was it that was freezing and crashing? Almost certainly MICROSOFT'S! Which completely contradicts what they told us a few months ago about Vista, when they were calling it "Mojave" in TV ads, assuring us that it DID NOT "freeze and crash".
The only logical conclusion is that their new message must be "We know our products always suck, but this one sucks a little less." Wow. Doesn' that make you want to open-up your wallet?
I'm so thankful I haven't a single cent in Microsoft stock! I have ZERO confidence in Steve Balmer.
