Touchdown! Greaser!
A permanent thing, an unavoidable part of computer ownership?
I found this in my temp folder, actually there were a dozen with different dates:
"osCheck Vista Migration 2007-07-23 22h28m09s"
Would it be naive to think MS is planning that we will all soon use Vista? (is that what these pings are all about?)
Where does it end?
Will there be a MS2008 OS? Every year or two they will foist a new OS on us whether we need it or not? Whether we want it or not?
Eventually, will a chasm develop in the computer world between users of the latest and greatest - the "Feed the Machine $." types; -vs 'the Luddites' who insist on some older, proven, stable, reliable OS. The luddites may not get full access to software or internet things because of 'compatibility' issues, so maybe a split in internet sites and software availability will develop?
Or will we all plod up to the trough, and reluctantly take our fill of whatever MS is serving up each year?
PS If I have my druthers, I'd prefer to leave the mac vs pc debate apart from this thread.
