Re: CHAT: Microsoft

My main reproach to Microsoft software is that it
takes a much too long time to get to a document. From
the moment you switch on the computer:
- you wait, and you wait, and you wait, until
everything is loaded, then you click on the Excel or
Word icon and
- you wait, and wait, and you wait, until the program
loads all its stuff, then you click on your document,
and
- you wait, and you wait, and you wait, until the
document is loaded, and then you change a semicolon it
in, write the file, and you do the whole process again
in the reverse way (and you wait, and you wait...)

Would be much wiser to load just a core at the
beginning, and then loading additional modules when
requested, if ever (nearly all Pack Office users
needing no more than 10% of Excel or Word or
whatever). Would be even better for the user to buy
the only modules he really needs, but that of course
would be commercially very bad for Microsoft. The idea
is to sell the user what he doesn't need. That might
explain why many people hate Microsoft, let alone the
bugs.
