Kids? So how long did you code in assembler or cobol or fortran on a 370? Ya, thats what i thought.
Tho i do have to agree with you that Microsoft does produce low quality products. However, currently they are the market ( realistically ) so you have to deal with it to remain useful.
Not letting IT do their job and maintain your companies data security IS a gaping hole, that is if you werent full of it in the first place. NO business owner would have that attitude and survive beyond having a lemonaid stand in front of your parents house.
Now, go back to the basemet and have a nice day, the rest of us have work to do.
No, what i was saying is this is all just a ruse to get support from the masses, when the real goal is far reaching and will eventually restrict your ability to post your opinion in a public forum if it differs from what is "acceptable".
It's a 'think of the children' slippery slope entry point.
And opinion should be neither. ( which is where this is headed ultimately, to restrict you from expressing your opinion, unless its an 'approved' opinion )
They will still make their $ back at a more reasonable per unit price of $150, it would just take a little longer. But not 2x as long as they would sell even more.
Lower prices on a good product = more sales over the long haul.

Is it still tied to C++ like in the previews or are they supporting other languages/bindings now?
Terrorism is todays excuse to raise taxes. ( for the kids was the 90s ) Not surprising at all that they are doing this.
Why not, we don't need to know how to get around town do we? Oh, and no one owns paper maps.
Idiot.
Or just don't put garbage about yourself online.. How about that instead?
If its public data. Embarrassed by your life? Don't publish it.
Or if they tried to profit off it, might have never happened at all.
The openness of the early days is why we have it today.
Someday you people will come to assume that anything the government asks is a portal to one.
So it will be 1500 when it hits the streets.

So you are telling me that i bought a product, but the vendor is *intentionally* preventing me from fully utilizing it?
Doesn't sound too legal to me.
I don't think you have to worry about hiring any IT manager with your clueless attitude.
For trying to enforce safe computing practices that you agreed to uphold by being a user on their network? Ya riiiight.
Come work for us, and see how long you last. I give you 15 minutes max before you are escorted out.

employee?? The company should be toast.
Should be *banned* for security areas. If you need 'outside' for a valid reason you provide a dedicated machine for that purpose.
Its pretty simple. That company should be fired, not just the fool that caused the leak.
And i don't care what OS it runs, anything less then the above is plain reckless.

If people believe as you that the issue is really about slander, then we have already lost the fight.

Seriously, we haven't bothered.
Sure we will have to someday as servers are retired and 2003 goes off MOLP but it doesn't seem like a big deal to me to start some push to do it.
More of a quiet snooze then a dramatic miss.
Now that we are almost all on metered internet, they will offer 'reduced bandwidth rates' for local content, relative to their competition.
Its not over yet.. Transforming isn't always a good thing.
Never benefited anyone.
Ok, perhaps the porn industry...
It comes down to greed.

Umm basic magnetic theory says this should happen. Kids in grade-school do stuff like this.
They really that far behind the rest of us?
