He’s right

Hmm, JP seems to have a pretty good guess about what my opinion might be. Truth is, even with my geek soul, I don’t care what Microsoft calls their next operating system. I’ve never really cared about the name of any software. Call it whatever the hell you want, my decision to use it is based on how it works, and what people can accomplish with it. If the new OS is a tool that will allow my users to accomplish what they need to accomplish more efficiently, I’ll recommend it. If it doesn’t, I won’t.

Seriously, how many of you hardcore IT folks have time to worry about what they name it?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I couldn’t get to my own child abuse site at the airport the other day. I’m sure they use some sort of filtering software, and I’m sure that it’s the same filtering software used by various schools and libraries. So, while it not being available from the airport is only a minor inconvenience, a kid…

    AKA the great cleanup of 2006. I’ve always said that I wasn’t a good test subject to measure how effective any anti-trojan or spyware application is, so while I’ve kept a professional interest in the latest and greatest tools, I hadn’t been given a really good opportunity to try them out, until last week.
