Amen to that. I hate anyone connected to sales or marketing, because they can never spell anything out in black and white, it always has to be three-flavour-sugar-coated. In my view, if a product is any good, it shouldn't have to be marketed - just inform the customers that it's out there and they'll come flocking. Windows can be very bad sometimes. I just wish Microsoft would be more realistic with pricing (or taking advantage of people who don't know any better to be more precise) and be more damn cooperative with others when releasing a new version of Windows so that more than 3% of the current drivers will still work. They can't have a complete, closed monopoly and a product that works great under any conditions. “That’s all marketing *is* is deception.”

At least it's got better security than the mac. Besides you could go for a *nix machine also. “It goes without saying that Windows is the worst OS available”

(Ironically, I'm typing these words on an older iMac, but I assure you it will be my last). It goes without saying that Windows is the worst OS available, but it's becoming more apparent that Microsoft is the lesser of 2 evils. I certainly don't approve of their monopoly racket, but at least they don't lock their OS down to one hardware platform, or extort those who attempt to improve its performance on other devices.
