I like Obama and I can’t stand Microsoft. One hurts himself, the other hurts many.
For twenty years, Saturday morning promised a radio update from the president and a response from the opposition. Shortly after Obama took office, the radio update switched to something like 6 am and the Internet. The radio update at a decent time is limited to the opposition–which now means hearing the most vile and vicious distortions, and no rebuttal from the administration. I am on the Internet 24/7 but am I going to listen to radio on the Internet for Obama’s take? Never done that and not likely to.
Meanwhile, I have been needing to buy many PCs for the office. Ever since Vista appeared, I had to stop buying. It does not cooperate with a key Netware server. Multiplied by many others in the same boat, Microsoft’s decision to make XP unavailable on new PCs should hurt PC makers in big numbers.
I know there are work-arounds and alternatives but that is not what I can feed the staff. Same with Obama and the radio–I miss the radio updates but am unlikely to rearrange my life for them.
