When you do some work for too long, or you do work you like too much, the work will change you. You will do things in your personal life as you would at work. Or you start liking other things or other people. This guy actually has “design disease”. Follow this link to see what I’m talking about. I hope he does not find a cure, since I like what he does.
…but only if you have a Home-Edition or MediaCenter-Edition. So if you’ve paid the extra bucks for the Pro Edition (which I did) you get less support. What’s that all about? A so called “companies have the cash so they should pay for the support of home users” motto? What about: a company has some several hunderd (if not more) installations of Windows XP, you know what: we’ll give them free support until 2014, just like the Home-users. Of course not: nobody would believe that to be a viable marketing strategy.
I think Microsoft marketing personnel is the best. Worth their weight in gold. No, double that. But still they are the reason why Microsoft sucks.
Update: I suck. MS extended the support on Home/MCE to match the support of Pro. So I guess that’s okay 😉
