Although Microsoft has considered itself a dictatorship
in many ways it has produced many positive areas of
advancement and ease when using their programs.
Yes! not allowing the independent companies the right
to produce or sell their products or expertise is wrong.
It is, however, not right that microsoft be forced to change
the format of their windows 98 program because someone
else now wants more of the action. It would behove "WIN 98"
to be seperated from the primary microsoft browser and
sell it as a seperate tool or add the other browsers url's
to their package and maybe buy seperately.
For those who are really crying about the total package
thatis bought from Microsoft, via WIN 98 and the previous
packages,what is your problem? You don't have to use the
Microsoft browser, you can still use anyting you like if
you want, "I DO", I use netscape. Microsoft does not inter-
fere with this in any way.
After you get done with your big "I WANT MORE" game
from Microsoft when are you going to attack "AOL"?
After all there are many programs and url's that can
not be used if you are not a part of that browser
useage. GEE!! What do you think maybe we should
consider attacking every company that interfers in the
"I WANT MORE" attitude when they are already making
60% of the sales to date with their own browser, dah!
Netscape.
In conclusion, Bill Gates has over stretched his arm
in some ways with control of the small business mans
rights to using their products to expands with other
companies needs, however if "WIN" belongs to Gates and
so does Microsoft then who has the right to tell him
how he should sell his package on the market. I love
WINDOWS program and so does many of the public or Gates
wouldn't be where he is at. To say that you are going
to boycot is rediculous, You mean that you are not going
to buy WIN 98 and you think you are going to Change the
world. There are to many people that love this program
and without it may never have bought computers or any
of the other programs if it had not been for the ease
of the "WIN" programs, mucho, mucho bucks. Some
control of Gates is important and wise. Buttttttttt
I wish I would have had his brains and brawn to do what
he has done. Have faith, things will work out and we
will all be happy with a few changes and a little pain
that is what life is all about.
