Interview of the Windows XP SP2 Dev Team

Posted by Hemos on from the one-step-forward? dept.

Masa writes "SuperSite for Windows has a nice interview called "Windows XP Service Pack 2: The Inside Story". The interview gives a good insight, what kind of a project the Service Pack 2 was, how it got started and how huge effort it actually was." The ITMJ Product Guide is part of OSTG, as is Slashdot.

    The difference is, MS fails at both at the same time frequently.

    I don't get your post. Why do people buy Windows? Linux+KDE is a very capable replacement.

    They buy windows because they are too stupid to question things. Plain and simple. It's also why commercials can snow people so easily [re: election scams]. The fact that people are ignorant of choice is just a symptom of the problems.

    Not to mention people like to get into their comfort zones. My parents call me a hippie for listening to wbai when I'm 22 [e.g. not a hippie] and they're actually the generation that were th hippies that started things like wbai!!!

    They're just comfortable now getting snowed by local commercial talk radio/tv. Hearing dissenting opinion is just "counter productive" to them.
