Agree with you whole heartly!!
First, technology progression should NEVER be obstructed*, and
second, not ever by governments ruling markets(=COMMUNISM).
Governments, who first, in this, don't make operating systems and thus
do not have to fork out the needed developments' investments/are exposed
to any of the riscs involved, and second, don't have a qlue what type of
markets-developments are required.
(Most of our "governments" do not DAILY use a computer, let alone
know how to run one !).
*In the early 20th Century-years, Ford Motor Company was forced
to "split up" and what was left over was for others to develop.
This Middle Ages' remidy then resulted in US-recession years,
though it was not the cause, and had set back countries' technical
progress for ages.
If anyone thinks Windows 95/98/NT is not this time-age' demand let
them develop and market their system, know upfront that many have
tried and failed in the end(-product).
Examples of failures are plenty:
-Apples' MAC,OS/2,Unix,DOS etc etc.
Like with the stockmarkets:
Let the markets decide, NOT governments.
And as for any Microsofts' Upgrades:
They are and have known to always be overbugged.
I will NEVER install any of its upgrades, the users' nightmare, and instead
either buy any of its new FULL program versions or do NOT buy/skip it at all.
