Thats how it works on a Mac. You allow a program to install by typing your password, and it assumes you actually want to use that program and never asks for it again. Thats how it should be. Again Microsoft is about 5-10 years behind the apple curve.

Not a prayer. Absolutely the most unresponsive company ever.
I'm sure most of us have been involved in one of their "Betas" and have seen errors pointed out - in huge quantities - for months and months and the gold version then contains all of them. It has happened over and over.
They are strictly a marketing company and the king of pretending their stuff works. A disease which has spread to virtually all software companies, unfortunately.

Steve, ALL companies above a certain size are unresponsive. They just CAN'T respond in any reasonable timeframe to customer demands. They can only respond to trends.

Seedubya,
I've worked for Arthur Andersen, Mellon Bank etc. I understand unresponsiveness and size. From my perspective, that's not the issue here.
You only have to talk to a product manager a few minutes to realize that quality is the very last thing on their agenda. The VERY last thing.

This is very true, and with over 90% of the world locked firmly into Windows they really don't seem to care much at this point.

Why would they? They probably won't become responsive until they lose serious market share.
