flip flopping, that's what Bill Gates has always done best, other than steal Apple's operating 'windows' system.....
My 1st PC at work and home were Apple Mac's, back when MS only had MS/Dos or NT platforms. When Northrop bought out Grumman, Vought, and Westinghouse Electric, Teledyne Ryan also, the Company (Northrop), had to integrate their new acquired companies, with either Apple or Microsoft IBM clones.
It took years of spending a month here and there in all the many facilities owned by grumman, vought, et al. to ensure all new acquired companies were all online together with the same operating systems.
With Microsoft always releasing an "incomplete" product, ie Windows 95, Windows 98, Vista, Millenium, and XP, those software packages were full of glitches, because they were incomplete. MS always sales incomplete software, then adds Service Packs, to add the incomplete operating systems....
That would be like buying a new car, without the hood, the doors, and the gauges in the dash, as well as buying a car with primer in lieu of later applied paint....
I despise MS, to the hilt, and despise how their software files are exclusively owned by themselves, and not the buyer. Try taking a MS file, and converting it into your own, its a mothuh fkr, and often will not give the owner of the PC full ownership, that is for the birds....
For a company like MS whose trying to fight off the FBI for hacking abilities to law enforcement, they sure seem to have no problem hacking into anyone's system, as long as its a MS system, of which 'full ownership' does just that, allows MS to hack at will.....
this is what I'm talking about: (keep in mind, this trick does NOT often work if at all)...
