Software? The only reason I didn't insta-ditch the CD was in case I needed it if the keyboard broken and warranty wanted everything back. There's no need for any software for just using a keyboard.
Tough luck for your corporation. You get what you pay for. Ironically, you actually paid a lot to have something with such short lifetime. You should read the fine print first, or consider this sort of stuff next time you pick your software tools.
It took blizzard about 2 years to get WOW to latin america, and only with really crappy spanish voices. Up to this date, I still have to buy WOW (original, not expansion) in USA or on the website (if you're lucky enough to have an international card here in Argentina, since most aren't).
Local resellers don't understand why nobody buys their crappy spanish-spoken copies, and people wonder why blizzard never imported the original english version that doesn't make you wanna puke.
Simple question; while many defend some aspects of HTTPS as for privacy, authenticity, etc, the truth is, it uses a centralized models, where browsers are bundled certificates from "trusted organizations".
Others however, state "why should *I* trust such organizations, specially if they're susceptible to their local laws, and to compliance with their local government.
I can use HTTPS, but if the US government tells some-us-ca to issue a certificate for my domain, they'll be forced to do so. Hence HTTPS is not infallible, it's both centralized, and susceptible to foreign laws, and policies of all the organizations that *your visitors' browsers* trust. (not just you).
Microsoft was x86 and upgraded as it could with big patches.
Even though I don't like Apple at all, I can't deny that what they did with Mac OS X was proper DESIGN and PLANNING.
Microsoft creates huges patches.
And ships them to DVD increasing the version number and adding some eyecandy.
An even mayor problem is that "huge and popular servers" (gmail) reject mail from someone else when it's got a HUGE amount of BCC as an "anti-spam policy", so we can't use BCC.
BCC should be used more, but that doesn't mean CC shouldn't be used.
I used reply-all 99% of the time at my former job.
It was a 15-people company, and most of the e-mails where organization-wide discussion or news which needed replies to go to all.
I only used "forward" about 5 times in the last year, but I'd never say it shouldn't be where it is, right next to the "reply to all" (or reply to list) button.
The pedal example is the best, and unarguable!
However, I disagree with the K idea.
K = Kilo = 1000. It's a pretty old unit of measure, everyone learns at school, and define by the SI, which is adopted by all except 2 countries.
Next thing you know, a DOZEN bytes will be 10, and everyone should accept that.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units.
Unless you live in USA o Burma, it's what you see in school. Disk manufacturers respect the International System of Units. All the rest tried to adapt it to their need instead of using a different unit for a different amout.
K = 1000
If 1KB = 1024B
then
1*(1000)B = 1024B
1000=1024
Clearly, they're not the same.
Did you ever even bother to look up "democracy"? UK has a "Prime Minister", and it's still a democracy, because he's selected through a democratic process. A dictionary will clear up any remaining doubts.
I'd never trade MY freedom to send e-mails in exchange to avoid people making STUPID mistakes, sorry, that's just WRONG. I don't care if it's just $1 in a lifetime, it's a matter of principle.
That's a really crappy excuse "the buttons are next to each other and I'm tired".
So what happens if a friend and my boss are next to each other on my cell phone? That mean you call the wrong at the middle of the night one too?
"Oh, the fire alarm lever was right opposite the light switch"
Pay attention to what you do; period.
Aside from what you stated, there's also that fact that if you Boss was CCed, NOT replying to all, would mean deliberately "kicking" him from the conversation.
People should have common sense "does everyone need to know my response?" It's as simple as that.
The solution is making people pay attention where they click, not "hiding buttons because users can't read", that same though is making popular software crappier every day.

Pidgin + XMPP supports voice and video. Used used it for a long time, and no issue. Have never used, or will use skype.

I believe filezilla is the most common FTP client, and it support SFTP as well.

It's also his right to start crying and call his mommy, but not very co-ceo-ish really.
Sounds like BS, that's 2k accounts per PERSON on the earth, a bit too much, even with all the bots that around and stuff.
It took Sony about 18 months to get the PS3 to Argentina. Almost two years with the PSP.
And he's not complaining about having to wait, he's complaining because of the delays have no sense.

"But what if the printer had a dialogue indicating that you've got the wrong envelope, or warned you when you..."
This analogy is perfect, I can only image people trying to argue with it senselessly :-)
Sure you can, it's called "clean install", any OS can do that.
They break so much stuff for "backwards compatibility", but still manage to break it SOOOO often as well :-P.

Why do you say on microsoft's part? Hotmail, I belive, has a very small amount of users compared to yahoo and gmail.
I agree. Don't make people-who-read pay just because they're a minority.
Software is a tool to be used by humans, not something to do it's job and human just turn knobs.
Any user that currently uses "reply to all" without paying attention will just hit ENTER if you add that dialogue.
