its disgusting that
in their site (m$) article on 'win 7 support ends'
they have used as support/encouragement (other happy m$hit users)
a 'tweet' from someone on the nhs, saying
'how fking happy they'll be .. smooth path etc'
to win 10
they're using the NHS, to promote
when the waste, the human fking garbage, in I.T. = all, from m$hit
.. the fact that their systems are in the same state they were in the
90s, worse
m$ response to complaints about their minimal, dysfunctional installations
"pay"
what must be understood about gates, microsoft
re: "the quality" .. jobs said, and "microsoft never understood objects"
gates knew nothing, had nothing to offer, but 'microcomputing' skills
IBM needed an OS,fast -- they picked the nearest thing, after hearing
about gates, the 'elite', from his mother, who had friends within IBM
so they pick up the piece of shit, the first piece of shit that would
run, on their PC. cos they didn't have the time to get anything serious
onto it
so he doesn't have to do anything, all the units all the systems = m$
cos the pc took off, when it got licensed
it became the pattern, the drill bit
xerox had a gui, a competent gui -- surrounding it, ethernet, the lazer
printer -- the gui they invented using tools, technologies, they invented
smalltalk, object orientation
jobs went to apple when he was worth $50m .. he had some interest
he was shown the gui by lynne conway (inventor of VLSI) .. they did not
want to show it to him. She was ordered to show it to him
jobs was shown the smalltalk system , the gui the right clicking with the
mouse
he was blown away by it -- he "got it"
gates saw the gui .. he went away and he knocked up an 'impression', of
what he say, in C .. "it took m$ a long time". Because, in software, to
something badly, with no knowledge, no design, no foundation, no
structure. That takes a long time, because .. in the arena of 'wheels'.
only the round ones work.. square ones dont' get you anywhere. THERE IS
ONLY 1 SOLUTION. From the v start. m$ software was a mess, being an
'impression' with no structure. A cereal box, pretendy cut out knock off
copy of the competent, xerox system, the technology (smalltalk becoming
apples 'objective-C') that apple did take.
& it shows. To this day. Re: 'the quality'. Jobs re: m$. They never
understood OO. "and their systems are shoddy"
gates before he got the fuck out, the whole show becoming non-
interesting. Not having been interested in any solutions, ever
stated in interview (early 00s) "your biggest regret" "WINFS", he replied.
'some structure' some design.
badly designed systems, embedded into situations, become a liability.
m$s software is their yoke, re: win 8 re: the serial product failures, no
company in history having more $$$s to keep throwing @ the wall, to see
what sticks, what falls off. The 'kin' for instance, a product that m$
embraced and ruined ('youth pda') .. or music/pda .. it was somehting
like a messaging blackberry. They stripped out the competent java system
it had on it, and put win CE, I think it was. Everything had to be m$
everything had to be their 'universal platform'. It sold reportedly, 500
units. It will have cost well over a billion to develop. They had the
largest product failures, the largest MESSES, in corporate history,
serially. The 'kin' is a minor one. Everything they touch, turns to shit.
Like certain politicians, being an 'elite' gates had the bar set exactly
where he wants it. Nothing gets delivered, nothing gets fulfilled, and
the customers accept the shit because he has total monopoly ruthlessly
enforced (no other 'creativity', within that company). The customers have
NEVER SEEN ANYTHING ELSE. "the dark ages of tech" (as apple insider puts
it). They regressed human progress.
This is what the uk government constantly promotes, uk institutions. This
is why you have failing systems, everywhere. This is why you are
backwards in tech.
whats the f*cking point discussing it
you are f*cking idiots
