[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "We've had, what, five great virus epidemics the past three years, haven't we?" No. We've had five situations where we were told there was going to be a great big virus outbreak that would cripple the worlds computers. And nothing happened. "As in nature, there is strength in diversity, and I don't think Microsoft is fostering an environment for diversity." On the other hand, if I write something in word, and want to use it on another computer, I can be almost completely sure that the other computer will be able to display the file. Diversity is good. Standardisation is good. Do you remember the nightmare of trying to play games under DOS? Programs having to cope with a million different sound cards? Trying to get the game to accept your crap sound card? Now people bitch and complain about DirectX, but it works, and games are a lot easier to get working now. When did you last look at your autoexec.bat? For some reason, part of my computer course at uni teaches us about Motorola processors, specifially the 68xxx range. Now, is everyone thinking "wow. They're trying to give us a broad range of computer knowledge, and not limit us to learning about the WinTel monopoly"? No. Everyone's thinking "This is a huge waste of time." [/QB][/QUOTE]
