It's true - MS may be horrible, but they're better than the alternatives.

But to note - they have started to take examples from other software companies. They have, built into the OS, the ability to close apps by using the "X" - it just requires 3rd party software to actually interact with the ability.

And hopefully PPC 2003 will make a world of difference. Maybe it'll be the jump from 98 to XP... I doubt it, but at least maybe it'll have a bit more style to it.

As for everything running crap on XScale - well, MS has basically said "To heck with XScale" and that they aren't going to alienate the larger portion of their customer base still using the standard ARM processor and build specifically for XScale - and on that note, it doesn't even look like they're going to lift a finger to do ANYTHING for XScale, it's as if Intel, by releasing the new chipset, pi$$&d MS off, and now it's their turn to give it to Intel...

It's sad, and frustrating - who knows, maybe a nice Linux based PPC OS will come out :D
