Msg: RE: OT: Win-10 Updates

Paul,

I also use my computer as a tool. I also use it for pleasure.

Personally, I find that getting anything up and running, (and reliably so,) I’ve accomplished much more in less time than I did sttempting to do the job in LINUX.

My group at UH, which was completely staffed by grad students from the CS department managed to really make sparks fly in my last big project there. We built every server and desktop from scratch, and deployed a Windows server farm across everything in our server room, excepting our routers and firewall. We wrote all the data-driven applications using Visual Studio and it became a big success. When I retired, it was serving tests and tutoring to about half the University and has continued to grow.

Dear Philip

"Some people do not like change; it often requires effort to accommodate
it. As a result, some people prefer to be closed-minded, scoff at change
and remain in the past, convinced they are better off."

That seems unnecessarily pejorative in this context. There are
different schools of thought here. To label one as closed does not seem
terribly helpful.

My computer system is a tool. So long as it performs the function I
require of it in order to complete the tasks I use if for, why should I
change it? Development is fine if it serves a useful purpose. Too
often I find that development of software, including Windows, makes it
less easy to use and therefore less useful.

Paul
