I'm just wondering why practically all of us made such a big deal out of windows to begin with, when there were many other computer systems that were just as good, if not better than microsoft? I mean, was it b/c of the name Microsoft, and that's why some of us purchased it? It seems as though XP may have only been the best operating windows system microsoft designed, however I could be wrong about that. When I first heard that Mac/ Apple doesn't need any security, I couldn't believe it at first. (Although that could change down the road too) The Apple may be more expensive to buy than microsoft, but as far as I know, that's the only obstacle to overcome w/ Macintosh, and it always worked better than windows this whole, entire time. I feel like we along w/ technology put to much emphasis and hype into mocrosoft. There's also Linux, but I only heard of that one just recently, so I don't know much about that one.
Why did nearly everybody purchase microsoft windows in the first place?antivirus download
This is one of the reasons why microsoft was convicted of monopolizing the computer industry. All manufacturers had to have microsoft software in it and nothing else. They even took out netscape out of every computer in the late 90s. Of course, the bigger you are the more enemies you make and that's the reason windows operating systems contain so many security measures since so many people are trying to break through. I mean if you were a hacker would you try and hack computers with windows vista or mac 10x whatever it is? The answer is obviously Vista. One of the reasons macs are more expensive is because they are manufacture by a lower amount and economies of scale doesn't take place. For microsoft is the other way around I mean why do you think they include a 90 day trial of office 07? It's so that people will buy it in the end and that way they won't look for any other program since office has it all. You don't have to worry about sticking with windows unless you are planning on gaming a lot since you can always erase that pesky Vista and upgrade to linux ubuntu. You do have to handed to microsoft for making an operating system easy to use even for the computer handicap. Also, remember that not everyone wanted to purchase microsoft but since microsoft has such a high share in the computer os industry(around 90 percent) they have the upper hand but I wouldn't worry about them keeping it for long.
