Hi Jackie, John
You guys are so right about this! Nope, MS will not listen to anyone who
warned them about flaws in their new products. If you're a reader of Woody's
Windows Watch or Woody's Office Watch, you'll remember Woody has always been
warning MS about their products' vulnerabilities, but of course MS brushed that
off and eventually proved Woody right! Then there would be patches after
patches to patch the patches et al...Now there's a new patch to patch over 40
holes found in Win2K....Professional, Server, Advanced Server....what a big
piece of patchwork art that would make laid end to end! §;^)

Well, could it be Big Bill just wants to keep his employees busy?

Hi:
I think it sheer neglect-- money hungry eyes--- pushing out products not
nearly ready on the consumers, and promising its the best yet charging a
big buck. I think because of the big push they are not seeing the bigger
issues of quality-- instead they push for quantity promising the public
higher profiled programs that are incomplete or fine tuned. The beta
testers are not given enough time to address all the issues or find out
about the loopholes or if they are--Microsoft is not listening neglecting
to implement their suggestions to eliminate the problems. Its a money
issue-- when they first started with the windows 95 they never addressed the
issues back there and they certainly did not address them in the later
windows. In order to market their programs they are spend billions on huge
flashing ,glittering advertising campaigns with a lot of empty promises.
For one example they sold a bill of goods about how secure windows XP is--
all of a sudden we are flooded with patches upon patches and more patches
it shows its structure is weak from the beginning .... If that was a boat--
I sure wouldn't go in it for a ride would you? Its a good thing its not a
boat I don't feel like getting wet Windows XP Pro costs here in Canada
quite abit--its about $500.00 for a full version the Windows XP home edition
is around $300. I bought Windows 2000 Pro for $457 over a year ago its
still being patched up . I am looking at prices here in the Future Shop,
usually they are cheaper than Staples. In the US its not exactly cheap
either. The only way to get a better product from Microsoft is either hold
off from buying their latest products or bombard them with emails or by the
media... When they see its going to hit their pocket books just maybe
they might smarten up. My 2 ¢ --- Jackie

Tonia,
Like the commercial once said, "I needed that" It is interesting and to the
point. I do not believe that Bill Gates wants to make his products so good
that they will be perfect. How would he make another
1,000,987,345,765,234,500.0098765 billions? You get my point, but he has to
do something as many of his products have back doors so big that almost
anything could get through if it were the right color, shape, size, look,
feel, byte, worm, Trojan, virus, hacker, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. Oh
well this email would not be able to name all of them, and I'm sure that
everyone on this list could probably name a bazillion more give or take a
bazillion or two.
