This one sucks :-) I will sell you a pile of sh1t for $295 if you
really want! Give me a call. I'm an authorized p00p resell3r. In
all seriousness though, I used to think that because something cost a
lot of money, it was "good". I had MSDN Developer subscription and
had this feeling of "oh, I got everything I need right here, yeah!
Awesome!". Once I found out that M$ products are actually inferior, I
wouldn't even take them if you gave them to me for free. Thus, the
price tag is meaningless.
It used to be that I could not sit down on a Linux box without being
frustrated, many year ago. Now the inverse is true. "What, I have to
reboot 6 times just to get all the Microsoft updates?" "What, I
have to enter serial numbers now and activate every peice of
software??" "What, I can only uninstall one application at a time???"
"What if that installer is broken, or takes about 30 minutes to
uninstall, do I have to sit until that package is removed and then
click "uninstall" on the next app too????"
As you can see, M$ is inferior...
