That's a very good point and a fairly astute observation - I thank you for making it. Remember that this is a learning curve for me. I've not done this long.
I am glad you care enough to post that and I thank you for doing so. I think I agree with what you have said.
Well, after a fashion...
One point I do want to make is that I am not some kind of blind Microsoft hater - far from it.
I was an NT/2000/XP admin for several years and they have some good stuff. OK, for every Windows 2000 there's been a Windows ME but they are an important part of computing.
However, one might think differently about some of their business practices. I am not the only one who thinks this. Whole States in the US have taken Microsoft to court and they have legal problems galore. And yes - there ARE lots of security problems being found with IE right now. And people have to know that, because we PAY for this software, we don't get it free like Linux.
So I agree with some of the things you have said, but I stick by some others.
When someone else (i.e. AMD, Intel, the CIA) wants to mess with you, I will post about that too. After all, its news.
I get my stories from coverage of other news sites, and if I do a lot of Microsoft stuff right now, its mostly because its topical and interesting (I think.)
