Webuser Forums: Internet Explorer

Microsoft wants to control the market, not just dominate it. It has a global ambition to be the only supplier, and make the whole industry and every single user dependent on its products. That is why people hate the company so much, because it is trying to take away freedom to choose. Then there's the DRM issue, where again Microsoft wants everyone to dance to its tune (no pun intended), with its hardware DRM chipping and it's proprietory DRM controls set into the RAM modules and peripheral devices.

Don't you know what Gates's personal ambition is? It's for everything with a chip in it to be run by Microsoft. It's wants the ordinary user to have a screen with a mouse and keyboard, but no box. Instead we log in to Microsoft owned servers to run their own applications and store our files on their drives. And the connection will be always on, so they can feed us anything they like and we can't stop it, as there will be no way to install blockers and anti-spam software.

For all this "Brave New World" we will be charged a subscription, every year renewable, and if we don't pay we lose the ability to use the personal unit, plus access to our data. All this was revealed some time ago in an interview with him, where he discussed his vision of the future and the Microsoft role in it.

Now lets take a look at these updates you find so wonderful. Let's ask why they are there? Is it becuase of ongoing technological advancements, or is it mainly down to sloppy work on a sub-standard product? Sure, Microsoft may be the market leader by volume, but that doesn't make their products the best. I don't applaud Microsoft for fixing its problems, I condemn it for having them in the first place, as most of them relate to bad coding which more time and thorough checking would have uncovered pre-release.

Less concern about profit, and more care about Quality Control would go a long way to improving customer relations. This is why Windows Millennium failed so completely, and why Microsoft admits openly they launched it before it was ready, and should not have done.

The bottom line is simple, given the problems we continually have with its products, Microsoft is the world's biggest scam company. In my book, that is nothing to brag about, and gives every reason not to trust them. The problem is, now they are the dominant corporation in IT, they think they don;t have to care any more, as people will still use their products becuase they feel they have no choice. Again, such an atittude towards the customer is nothing to be proud of, and shows how shameless and unethical the company and its owner really are.
