Just when you think that Microsoft understand their users, you hear this. It seems that Microsoft is determined to get rid of the start menu but you knew that already. What I didn't know is how determined they are to make it history forever. First on the start menu front, they can only make it difficult, they can never stop a start menu hack. Software works on the key/lock principle. If there's a lock, there's a key. The more they lock it down, the more attractive a hack will be and the more hackers will drill deep into the code to make it happen. This also seems like a very insecure way to design an Operating System. Here are some quotes by some wise people that are being ignored: These design principles as espoused by Microsoft seem like the way to go. Any attempt to strong arm users into this boat will not work. Not allowing users to boot into the environment of their choosing is not "creating an experience that works however you want to work", it's creating an experience that works however Microsoft thinks that
I should work. After spending money on an Operating System, if it tries to force me to do what I don't want to do, I will either:..Want to know more and what you might do to resolve this stop by Our Forum. |
