It seems like in school... every time something went wrong ('cause someone didn't do his (home-) work properly, it actually was someone else's fault. Well, and this when one should think that
Microsoft Corporation finally passed some exams some 24 years after it first saw the light of the world. *bg*
And now let's have a look on a chart of what Microsoft's customers' support tells you when you complain about Windows95.
- We wanted to show IBM what we felt about OS/2.
- It is after all called Windows 95 -- 95% completed and tested.
- That's nothing, wait until Windows NT 4.0 comes out.
- It was the perfect complement for all those multimedia gadgets that don't work properly under Windows 3.1.
- We wanted to make a product that complemented the first Pentium chips.
(Remember the floating point divide error incident.)
- Let's see you try to rush a complicated product to the market in less than a year.
- It's not our fault. People don't read the directions. (another Technical Support response)
- We'd like to see Apple Computer and IBM copy our features. (and then Bill Gates will sue them if they do.)
... and the number one excuse provided by Microsoft:
- We're Microsoft and we don't care.
