Latest is not always the best!
Are you an “Upgrade freak”, itching to bung in the “latest” apps and brag about it to your buddies?
Stop to think for a while. Consider the fate of those suckers who went ga-ga about Windows Vista and ended up shredding the Vista CD and reverting quietly to Good ol’ XP. (Psst…. Microsoft has finally got the hint, to wit, realized that Vista is a fiasco and is quietly providing upgrades to XP.)
Do not rush to upgrade to latest versions of proggies, before they are fully tested and proven to be bug-free. Think, why should you be the fall guy to be straddled with a buggy trashcan!
Now the same message through a video!
YouTube - Watch - Vista Sucks!
Read PCWorld’s crotchety columnist Steve Bass and his compatriots’ wise words on why they’re loathe to upgrade their favorite apps.
Invisible Operating System?
Today’s Operating Systems are heavily bloated and try to be everything for everybody. Spurred by a false notion that an OS must be omnipotent and should try to handle any kind of task that the user fancies, including toasting a bread slice. But do we really need such monoliths?
Columnist and techno-blogger Ephraim Schwartz tries to sneak a peek into the future of OS scenario in his short (!) essay published in InfoWord thus:
Twenty yeas from now a new generation of computer users will look back on the operating systems of today with the same bemused smile we look back at the cars of the late 1950s and early 60s. They had huge fins, were the size of a small yacht and burned up just about as much gas.
That’s right, I’m comparing Apple OS X 10.5, or Leopard, and Microsoft’s Windows Vista to those old behemoths — big and flashy and totally unnecessary.
Instead our grandchildren will be using discreet, unobtrusive operating systems that will be invisible to the naked eye.
They will, if you want to think about it like this, almost be a return to the concept of a command line, only in this case they will respond to either a typed command or a voice command or perhaps a gesture to open, join, find, save or close a file.
Most likely they will be embedded in the system that you buy or in the network.
