Now and then companies deploy iquestionable improvements and we all say so what did they do and there is nothing that we notice. This morning I opened my iGOOGle home page to findGoogle had "improved" it. I'm not against improments generally but this is totally a decline in quality and performance when you loose 1/8 of the width and it crams the columns up to be barely readable. The thing that really irks me is the way they did it...just like MICROSTUFF just as arrogant and without any care of what their consumer thinks. I guess it all comes with success or maybe they just want to loose money when eveyone else is doing like wise
I can only agree with most of the comments here. What puzzles me is that nobody is really calling MicroStuff on what they are actually doing.
Selling "beta" OS to get the money they need to fix it and Nobody from the industry or consumer services will call them on it. On top of it
they conspired with other Software developers, notably AutoDesk to make it so none of the earlier releases of their CAD software will run on VISTA
and the latest release of Auto Desk Architectural desktop will not run on anything but VISTA. There must be other problems or why would
MS be allowing or asking manufacturers to offer the XP upgrade from VISTA.
Go ahead say it you won't choke and everyone will feel better!
As is typical with Windoze the announce a new product that is really a BETA,
i.e.AutoCAD will not work with VISTA many apps are either not recognized or will not work
because VISTA is not complete. Doesn't Microstuff have what it take to put out a fully compatible product just once, every patch has problems every "NEW" OS it produces doesn't produce until we pay to have the bugs worked out.
