...on productivity is worht billions each year because most apps **are** a hassle for the users. The system crashes alone cause a loss of hundreds of millions each year worldwide. And if you read case studies about productivity it's amazing that the highest productivity is not achieved by users with MS apps, but by users who run applications from 'third party' developers.
Sorry, it's a sad story, but 99.9% of the users still believe the bullshit MS is spreading.
Besides this I just wanted to point the forum members to an existing and superior alternative that is the **only** standard because it really sticks to the standard. If anybody can afford to waste his/her time with hassle or display problems, that's fine with me.
BTW, I bet you are using the graphics driver from the manufacturer of your graphics card and NOT the 'original' MS driver. And I bet you've installed the printer driver that came with your printer and not the genuine MS driver for that printer. Why? Because they exploit the features of the components much better than the lousy MS stuff. So I really don't understand why 'intelligent' people use MS IE or any other MS apps that even have some well known and documented 'bugs' and backdoors programmed into it to open the systems for virus attacks. Only because it's FREE? Poor world.
No wonder that we are having so many 'successful' virus attacks now with this attitude of the users.
Welcome to the club of the constant rebooters and re-installers!
I prefer to be productive while they are messing around with their 'wanna-be-professional-and-beefed-up-to-the-limit-systems'.
And believe me, on Mars there a still little green men running around ;-}.
It's the same story as with the 'America is immune against attacks' story: September 11th 2001 led this statement ad absurdum.
