Me. Seeing how Windows is on 90%+ of PC's

being used today, it is impossible to say they don't at least share in the blame for the IT woes that become more numerous every day.

Microsoft had the position to make a real difference in the future of IT. But their focus on money and market share and total control surpassed their obligation to the consumer. Now they are bragging about Longhorn instead of fixing the sieve they call XP. Longhorn will never hit the market. They couldn't fix XP so why think they can do any better with even more code to deal with.

I find it interesting that Microsoft never discovers their own security flaws. If they cared about product quality, they would have a full time team finding their own flaws. They simply don't care.

So in my opinion, Microsoft simply cannot be seperated from any issues occuring with the PC.

And before you flame me as an open source proponent, I have been a small MS OEM since '93. And now, the only things I have to offer my customers puts them at risk. And I don't see anything but more mush coming from MS in the future. And any MS proponent should be hounding Microsoft to get back to business. And if you don't think there is any problems at hand, then disregarg.
