I don't see how they are going to sort that out either. I think they tried by putting office on RT, but that's only one suite out of thousands that people are going to try to install.
Hey, we Apple fanboyz'n'gurlz might have more money than sense, but we're not stoopid y'know! :@
I hated the change from DOS to Win 3.11, never did get used to it, never fully trusted it, used to have a program called xtree-gold that would let me 'shell out to DOS', still had it but used much less in Win95
Win7 has things altered in the control panel that I don't like
but, it all marches on, we just have to get used to it or get left behind
Bloody hell, I had x-tree gold. Mainly because it was more powerful than File Mangler though.
Ah, I remember XTree Gold :D

I had it cos it would allow me to do what I wanted to, Windows (even back then) kept stopping me
You actually seem like the kinda person who would like/use linux.
I was thinking exactly that based on "it would allow me to do what I wanted to"
Using ubuntu at work full time now. Been like that for a couple of weeks, so far so good. Libre office is fucking shite but I've managed to get Office 2010 working in WINE very nicely. I think not having Office is the only think I would've really struggled with.
Aye, and his tinkering taking-things-apart-to-see-how-they-work-nature (or at least that's my impression of his nature :Y )
And yeah I was using Ubuntu pretty much full time at home. Then I upgraded to 12.10 which is ... well, the graphics card support/drivers (proprietary) was totally broken so I retreated to windows. I should go back and stick 12.04 back on if it's not fixed.
And aye. Libre Office is ok but kinda clunky. On the rare instances when I need to do office stuff I just use Abiword and Gnumeric. But I don't need to do much.
Yep, I had X-Tree Gold as well. Mainly cos "File Manager" was pants and X-Tree was easier than directory manipulation directly in DOS.
