When will Microsoft realize that they need to create a product that actually works out of the box .?

Question

I get so tired of buying a product just to have to wait a year for all the bugs and patches to be fixed before I can use it without it shutting down. When will they actually get the message. I am not against progress, I just don't believe you should fix something that is not broke just in the name of its got to be "NEW."

Answer 1

They might (miiiiight) realize it when Windows' market share has dwindled down to around what the Mac's is today. They seem to be experts at losing track of what their customers want — unless you only count greedy CEOs of media corporations as customers.



But, y'know...what you're saying kind of rings a bell. In fact, there is one company who's figured out how to pull that off so far (and hopefully more will follow), and their name is Apple. Not only that, but unlike Microsoft, Apple is diligent about using, supporting, and contributing back to wordwide standards (anyone remember how the iMac brought USB into the mainstream? How OS X is built on a plethora of open-source projects, from the kernel up?), which makes them a smarter choice in the long run.

Answer 2

No offense to all the Windows users out there, but I think the answer is never. Windows is mostly a software company so most of its products won't work out of the box, i.e. software such as Windows XP. The way Microsoft works when the develop software is they work in stages. Most products are separated into 3 stages. Stage 1 is planning, Stage 2 is coding, Stage 3 is testing. Microsoft is a relentless tester, but despite this its software is blamed for computer crashes. The reality is that big computer manufacturers that sell budget computers such as Dell try to squeeze every cent of profit for each of their computers. They put in mediocre sound/video cards, mediocre drivers, etc. With such mediocre drivers and hardware, eventually budget computers will crash. And also they take awhile to process bugs and errors because of the sheer volume they receive daily. They have to look for a bug that might be a simple error such as a missing space or a typo through millions of lines of code. Microsoft tries their best, I'll give them that. Another factor that contributes to Microsoft crashes is the way the OS was coded, its written in a different language. Hope this helps? Haha.

patches. nicotine gum, and many others are simply promoting, and do not paintings too good. These are fairly well pointers I have heard to quit smoking. Hope they aid. Because a smoker types the dependancy of hanging anything of their mouth, and it is like regularly a cigarette. you'll want anything else to place into your mouth, like lollipops. Have a peppermint whenever you crave a cigarette, the yearning will leave someway. Be definite to have plenty of water, the nicotine will wash out inside forty eight - seventy two hours. Let's say, the equal quantity as a few scientist found out. 6 - eight glasses an afternoon. Make definite you get plenty of unpolluted air and recreation, it's going to aid your mind get well Have religion. Thinking you are not able to do it over and over again would possibly not aid.
