[QUOTE="andy_st200, post: 317625, member: 20670"] you can thank MS for... something other than gem desktop as thats about all was available at the time windows come out. a decent word processor/spreadsheet when all that was decent was wordperfect for windows (didnt even use TTF fonts insisted in using their own) and lotus 1-2-3 for windows which sucked.. even the DOS version was better even if you hate IE you have to be glad they bought out something half decent to stop the likes of netscape charging for their bloated pile of crap.. free surfing was the way to go and IE has pushed others to develop theirs buying autoroute as the company doing before were smallfry and it wouldnt be what it is today without them just think you could have been using os/2 instead of windows and i wouldnt wish that pile of crap on anyone end of the day microsoft o/s is about making money and thats what it does... and normal end users are happy with just a look and feel upgrade rather that what techys want/need. ive used vista in beta and also got full enterprise version.. i cant see what improvements it gives me over XP except the headache of apps not working.. so after a few weeks of playing about with it ive gone back to xp on my pc desktop. and all the other litte security bits are just like mac os anyway lmao [/QUOTE]
