ok! Thank you for your reaction! (I'm not good in monologues :-)) I agree with you both with the arguments you give - absolutely, and here's my point now: - Microsoft never had to convince its audience with so many care and tactics: you see a nice example of this if you look at the difference between office10 and office2007: an average end-user sees two different programs, a lot of differences in look and feel and in behaviour, and I am sure that noone of Microsoft needs to carefully convince people to start using their new product.
What I see there is that Microsoft pushes its programs through updates in companies, where employees have no choice of using it and then: - after a while need to install it also at their homes because they need to do work at home and must be compatible - because they get illegal copies from work can only use those to install it at home --> I don't see this careful procedure in the Microsoft-environment: what are we doing wrong then?
