Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft

s31523 writes "All of us have one time or another been completely frustrated by certain Windows usability issues, and in many cases our experiences have driven us over to Linux, or kept us there. For anyone that has ever been frustrated, you will be happy to know you aren't the only one. After reading this leaked Microsoft memo from Bill Gates back in 2003, you will surely have more insight into why Vista is a complete disaster due to Microsoft not learning anything from their experiences from XP."

    Yes but they are usually Me-too clones of a piece of software that was released on windows. :P

    This isn't a story about Linux, it isn't a story about Apple, it's a story about Microsoft. If it were a story about Pintos catching fire and burning people alive, people like you would be saying "so what? People get burned alive in Chevy pickup trucks, too!"

    If it was a story about Charles Manson you'd say "so what? Jeffery Dalmer killed them AND ATE THEM!"

    Ford and Chevy sucking doesn't excuse Crysler's sucking. Lets stay on topic, shall we?

    Yeah? Tell me who you are and I might believe you. When an AC posts something like you just posted I feel obligated to call bullshit.

    "Maybe it's just me, "

    it is.

    Clearly Windows has rendered you brain dead... or your a liar.

    Sorry, I've had users install OpenSuse, Fedora, and Ubuntu. All of them successful and on a variety of frakenboxes.
    I want the users to be comfortable with the process, that's why I have them install it.

    Someone new to the industry write bad code ifrom the users stand point! You don't say?
    I am shocked, and awed by that~

    Your company is going to fail if you only have Jr. people doing development.

      thought you did video production?
    And web design?
    and you also claim to use Macs.

    Considering the inconsistency of your claims, I'd guess you're a liar.
