Re: Some quick thoughts on technology. (footnote)

I would note that 5 out of 10 of these "reasons" are supposed fixes for
problems that windows created. (free disk space, setup is overly complex,
better crash protection, plug and play works?, area code works) When are
folks going to start buying an operating system for something that it can
actually do.

Also I wanted to say that corporate IS professionals "run" install, but not
on a system they intend to use. They run install on systems they intend to
tweak and clone. And since they are professionals (not lackey journalists
like this guy is), they are unlikely to be confused by some end-user
menu-base install program.

Sorry if it seemed a little garbled.... I was in a hurry...
