Re: Cool!
Constructive criticism and intelligent posts are one thing and I agree there is no problem with this sort of "bashing" no matter what company it is or their position in the market.
However over looking majour security issues while saying "google is the best I love google". Whilst turning around and slamming MS for silly, insignificant things is insane.
People seem to forget that Windows is a product not a public service. They owe you nothing, yes the SHOULD do things because they are a market leader but that doesn't mean the legally HAVE TO.
Look at the DRM or whatever, in media player. This is a feature that is easily turned off and is circumevented by a click of a mouse button and by ignoring stupid files yet all hell breaks loose.
Turn the page and Google has a massive hole in it's email that allows anyone to access your personal inbox easily and it is okay because it's in "beta". |

| This sort of double standard has existed for years now, and it goes both ways. Microsoft has its fair share of fanboys, just like Google, and they will defend MS tooth and nail. Neither side is necessarily wrong, but they lack the objectivity it takes to see the situation for what it is. Two competitors vying for market share. Take your predispositions regarding good vs. evil out of the equation and you might be surprised at what you find.
...and before you go placing the 'evil' moniker anywhere, lets I remind you that Bill Gates is one of the largest contributors to charitable organizations in the world? Just a thought...

It's not OK because it's beta, it's OK because it's free. I don't expect anything from them. Microsoft on the other-hand I pay for my OS and thus I expect allot from them. Now if MS gave me the OS for free then it would be a different story. |
