At FIA, re: Microsoft.
"MS are many things but the MS of 25-30 years ago they’re not."
This is true. The MS of 25~30 years ago had an extensive quality control team to try & prevent their software releases from buggering up everything & the kitchen sink. Sometimes they even succeeded & released a patch that did *not* break stuff. They also weren't as psychotic & dysfunctional WRT their user interface, widget location (like breaking Control Panel into fragments & hiding the bits willy nilly around the OS at random), & seemed to at least TRY to actually listen to their customers as far as issues were concerned. Now? No QC, no coherency, & absolutely not giving a fuck about what we might want, hyper focused on milking everyone for every last bloody red penny.
