Tim Mullen, 2004-02-02

Microsoft can end the scourge of e-mail viruses by ending its support for old software, and the clueless users who refuse to upgrade.

I second you sysadmin.. Like my mom who uses the computer to just see the e-mail and do her accounts.. she doesnt need a bloated Windows XP.

Also, you can't make her realize its bad to keep a Windows 95.. her point is, when it is working dont throw it.. I like somebody else idea in this post.. Why dont you guys trade-in and give a upgraded version..

If redmond can bully the hardware manufacturer, they can bully them to send their customer a free upgrade.. anyway they are losing tons of money XBOX, why cant they loose some in giving free upgrade. Or on the other hand.. let them build a secure light weight version of their OS for mom and pops.

Apple r u listening.. ??
