Microsoft is evil, this has always been as obvious as we need oxygen to breathe. But, do they have any long term tactics ? Or they just try to patch fast and continue not seeing further than next months market status. In my mind I had a numb thought that led me to believe that Microsoft was not that bad, that was only a matter of bad luck, I thought that a so widely used product could not be so poorly done. But today I saw the light after reading this news, please follow the link.
So Microsoft has been making a flawy version of the operating system on purpose, I’m not saying that they’ve introduced bugs, but they’ve spent a lot more money on making things look nice, than actually making things work fine. For any successful product, first you need to penetrate into the market, the point is that everybody has an opinion of your product, even if it is a really bad one. Microsoft has already accomplished so by releasing to the masses a cheap, beautiful blue box with some CD’s inside. But a nice box only makes happy fifty percent of the costumers that Microsoft is seeking, they also want the other half, who is in that part of market ? The main part of this fifty percent is people who have the money but, don’t want to spend it on Microsoft, they don’t need it as much as willing to pay for it.
But Lucifer ( MS CEO ) had it’s own plan, file sharing ( not only on the Internet but also the traditional ways) , suddenly Microsoft products where everywhere. Everybody has once had an illegal copy of Windows, it has never been hard to copy, they made us think that they were stupid, the copy protection was so bad, just a long number and letter code, easy to copy and generate, a false feeling of trying to stop the ilegal copy. But it was all part of the plan, they’ve now accomplished stage one, they have penetrated into the market. Most people need a Windows to survive nowadays.
So what was next ? They wanted people to pay for the products so they introduced the security threats. Suddenly Windows users were invaded by worms, virus, hackers and only god knows what else. Nowadays a computer without Internet is not much worth ( just a personal point of view ). And now Microsoft is only going to give real updates on-line after some authentication, so that confirms everything, Microsoft is selling a crappy CD, you won’t get your real software until you connect to the Internet, give your personal data, they’ve made sure you paid and then you get some patches. That way Microsoft closes the circle.
Don’t worry about this. It is sad, but sure someone will came with a trick to circumvent the next protection Micro$oft adds to their software.
Hecha la ley, hecha la trampa.
