First - The persistant upgrade is security feature designed to keep Microsofts network stable and safe. it's their right to that and it isn't anything new either.
Second - I've never been 'pestored' by the customer improvement program. It's hardly as intrusive as the ads you find in the Yahoo and ICQ services. Once again.. they are giving you a free program.. it's their right to that.
Third - Yah.. it's just simply supposed to be free. Free and perfect or else microsoft is just gauging you.
Forth - It's Microsofts right to block out Trillian. Naturally because the internet is a breeding ground for jerks who abuse services like the MSN networks. It's about security.
ICQ and Yahoo are not blocked out because of Microsoft. Just like Firefox isn't blocked out. Just like McDonalds and Burger King aren't the only guys that can sell hamburgers. That's an idiotic statement if I ever heard. Especially considering the fact that I am sitting on ICQ, Yahoo, and MSN at the moment.
Google should be treated the same way as Microsoft. If they provide a good product you use it. If they don't provide a good product you don't use it.
By your logic Google blocks stuff out too.. cause they give you a reason not to use anything else. |
