The Patent Office is a currently a joke.
Well, that was enlightening.

Do all you computer/software geeks realize that most people that use a PC don't have a clue....nor do they want to. They want to buy a turnkey package even if they have to hire the Geek Squad to come and do it all, although they'd rather not have that additional expense.

For all intents a purposes, Windows works....as a package it works. And if they have a problem they can talk to their friends and neighbors about it because they have Windows too.
It's like driving a 1960 VW Beetle, piece of shit, but it gets people where they want to go....basic transportation.


I'm far from knowledgeable when it comes to PCs but I've tinkered a little, sometimes even successfully. But for the life of me I can't understand why Microsoft should be obliged to tell me how they did it?

Bitch about Windows and Bill all you want, but he/it is the reason the nation and much of the world is online.
