i just hope noone takes him as anything but a zealot (of course, under the assumption he isnt on the payroll) if you do, read the following keeping in mind all the features that were removed, and all the features that were deliberately limited from the standard xp codebase um… is it just me, or isnt that rather self evident?Īnyways, i alwas leave pauls site in much better humor then when i got there. talking about how through “extensive market research” they found that “some people perfer being shown what to do rather then read about it”. Ive yet to meet an admin with something nice to say about xp home. the whole “IT professionals dont consider xp home a crippled product” makes me wonder what IT professionals he was talking about. theres quite a few lines that made me laugh. but saying that removing and limiting functionality is a “feature” is pretty dumb. crippled is excusable, i mean this is going to cost 30$, i have no problem with a “lite” version. That being said, calling this anything but crippled is a joke. its gotten to the point in asia where microsoft is in a losing battle with its own products, because piracy is rampant and theres nothing that ms can do to stop it. this is meant for newbs running 300$ pcs that have never touched a keyboard before.Īs for those saying that why buy when you can steal, thats the real purpose of this version of windows. this isnt for people with even a moderate level of computer experience. Paul thurott is alwas good for a laugh, this was better then most.įirst of all, i disagree with many of the comments here.
This starter edition will not work in any environment. The syndrome equates to responding to an email w/in seconds of reciving it, otherwise people are climbing the corporate ladder finding out why you have not responded. Has anyone else experience the “email syndrome”. This will be a major back step in productivity. I can see a whole lot of app’s closing and opening during a business day.
Yea, tell my boss that I have to shut down IM so that I can open an email, then sign back on to get back to work converstions about whatever. Needless to say, I still have a VPN client running, anti-virus and whatever proprietary app’s that my company uses. I cannot count the number of times that a boss Emails/IM’s me about some question, while I have a browser and a spreadsheet going. Its easy to have 3 apps open at any one given time.
