Per Jake:

There is a God.

But I've always suspected two things:

- He's a mean drunk

- He has an ugly sense of humor...

A third assessment might be that you simply do not understand God and
can't fit Him into this three-dimensional space-time mind-set that we
are fitted into, so you write Him off as an error in people's
imaginative thinking.

Perhaps you meant

I take "for no good reason" to mean you don't know the reason, and not
that Microsoft didn't have a reason. For all we know, they had an
excellent reason. We weren't there.

Note that I support your right to be cranky about changes from one OS
to another. The thing I'm complaining about is that you and I don't
know enough to be able to call those changes gratuitous or for no good
reason.

not so much). I am not opposed to sensible change. Senseless change,
OTOH, I do not like.

So since we don't know the reasons for the changes that have been
bothering you, do you concur that calling them gratuitous is
premature? For all we know, they may not be gratuitous at all.

How long do we have to wait for the explanations/reasons to be given?
Or, in some cases, the reasons may have been given but we do not accept
that they _are_ good reasons.

What makes you think the information you seek will EVER be released?
As consumers, we certainly have no right to it, nor do we have an
expectation that it will someday be provided. Or at least I don't.

So we are suppose to just roll over and play dead? Or, to put it another
way, accept changes - which appear to us arbitrary - without any
explanation.

It's either that or Xanax.


To buy/use win 8 ??
I'd rather not, and have MS get the rest of the bugs and unwanted
"features" cleaned up in win 7!
BUT- - - As a stockholder, with a paltry few shares, I hope MS sells the
heck out of win 8!

The only selling feature of windows 7 was xp mode.

And the fact that Windows 7 is better than XP in almost every way.
