Re: “Progress and improvement are not the same thing.”progress (1): Forward or onward movement, as toward a destination.

An interesting, if depressing, view. You'd have it that Windows ME was progress over Windows '98. That Bush was progress over Reagan. Indeed, that Hitler was progress over von Hindenburg. I think I know now why libtards so gladly embrace the word.

I would take what you've said and add "Progress and entropy are not the same thing." Indeed, there's this:

progress (2): Development, advancement, or improvement, as toward a goal.

Now we're seeing that progress and improvement ARE the same thing, provided that there is a goal. And maybe that's the problem - the general aimlessness of what Microsoft has been doing... change for the sake of change... progress by the FIRST definition only.

In any case, progress for Microsoft is not progress for Decomposed, and I do not approve of what Microsoft has been trying to do to me. (Investments aside. I'm a little - but only a little - embarrassed at being a longterm MSFT investor.)

Progress and improvement are not the same thing. That's why they're spelled differently. The fact is the things will progress- look it up if necessary- if only to stay ahead of the asshole hackers. You and zim may love holding things together with twine and dried cat scat, it may even be an avocation, but it’s not a good idea for most people and entities. They’ll have vulnerabilities they don’t even know that they don’t even know. I see it. Micro would be doing a disservice to his successor if he leaves him a legacy of Win 7, unless he’s a tech professional who gets off on that. He’s welcome to do it, or to stick his tongue in a power socket, but it’s not a wise idea.
