I don't have time to go back and edit them. So here are my quick answers with possibly lots of typos... |

- Well, kjanx, I was first introduced to computers in 1969 when Bill Gates was 13 years old and Microsoft wasn't even yet a glimmer in his eye. Am I to assume, from what you wrote, that you feel there never was any need for Microsoft to even pretend to provide support for any of their operating systems? I mean, if they were all perfect as released, what need would there be to provide even the illusion of support? And if they were all perfect as released, why do I have to download so many patches and fixes in order to fully set up any version of Windows you care to mention? If there was never any need for support in the first place, what difference does it make if they discontinue it? |
