  1. Re:Globalisation on Tougher Copyright Laws for Australia · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Actually I think the real reason is that as the "Melting Pot", there are many Americans from other countries who now are so happy with living in America that they just want their fellow, (former), country men to have the same benefits they receive in America.

    That's exactly write - Since Windows 95, they have been adding back the SECURITY that has been demanded on them.

    When they wrote 95 they strived for a User interface that anyone could use. Leaving out many "security elements" meant it could be easy to use.

    Then the exploits came. So they tried to retrofit the security that the average person *Shouldn't need*.

    Would this correspond with when windows started becoming too complex.

    As far as shoehorning the latest-hot-trend....why the hell not. Trend of the week matters to a lot of "average persons" so it would appear that MS do *care*?

    I have seen about 5 PC personally upgraded, so my experience is limited, I'll admit that much. But the only crash I have seen attributed to SP2 was on a Fujitsu Laptop when a "Toy" USB mouse was connected.

    I say "toy" cause it look a little cheap and it was small in size.

    My collegue uninstalled SP2 with no problems. Later when she spend a whopping $20US for a MS mouse and reinstalled SP2 and is happy as....

    Windows Update downloaded - asked me if I wanted to install now or later, I picked now.

    It installed - I didn't have to use task manager to turn off anything and I also didn't feel the need to run any program whilst this install was going on - just made sense not to.

    Everything works fine, as it always has.

    I also find your steps WAY overkill. You must really be trying to convience youself how hard it is. Like why did explorer need to be killed again?

    Simply that the level of support by those companies to yours would probably be high, the would also in turn be at the forfront of any beta test for changes to the underlying operating systems.
    I would merely suggest that upgrades to said operating systems would run smoothly if those vendors where able to patch their software in a timely fashion also.
    Others have indicated that some software customisers have disappeared - making it near impossible to get such support.
    But surely we are off topic by now!
