Although Microsoft has been considered 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 their format of their windows 98 program because
someone else now wants more of the action. It would
behove Gates to add the other browsers to his package
and sell it as before. Why make a bigger problem out
of this than necessary?
For those who are really crying about the total package
that is 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 interfere 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 a lot of the public or Gates
wouldn't be where he is today. To say that you are going
to boycot is rediculous. You may not even want to upgrade
to WIN 98. Some of us are quite happy with the 95 program.
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.
