I have faith in these companies that they made these changes for a reason, namely that they did tests and concluded it would improve the user experience
I have seen it said so many times, and I'll repeat it again.
If you disagree with a post, that does not mean it's flamebait.
The great thing about Slashdot is anyone can moderate.
The bad thing about Slashdot is anymore can moderate.
Back on topic.......
MS software seems to ride the rollercoaster of quality. They will come out with a great new version that's the best thing in a long time and then service packs, updates and upgrades degrade the quality. They use their position to force people to ride it into the ground and then reap as much money as possible until a competitor releases a semi viable solution. They go back to the drawing board and start the process again.
If they made consistently good software, it wouldn't anger me as much that they monopolize the market. Take note flamers, i said "as much", I would still be angry./rant
Yes,
Windows 2000 was NT 5
XP was 5.1
Home Server, I believe was 5.2 (though I am not sure of this)
And Vista if me boot screen didn't lie to me for the two weeks I tried it was 6.
Then again, who cares. don't care about version numbers, I care about quality of product.
GMail is also doing yourdomain.com hosting. An organization I belong to has been using it for a year or so and it's great. Everybody gets a GMail account that they can use on the road and they can use it with Outlook in the office. Works beautifully, but if Google doesn't fix problems like this I can imagine few companies would want to use it.
