Very interesting, but he mixes together some things that do not seem to me to go together, and he's failed to make himself an informed buyer. I like this one: "Meanwhile one of the pieces of software you usually use, that you need to access right now to get some data, has stopped working because it conflicts with some time-saving application you installed yesterday." He complains the the makers treat their products like toys. But he's acting like the equipment is his own personal toy. The problems as I see them: - Consumer products brought into the business. You only have yourself to blame, because consumer product lines generally get some form of update every six months. - Relying on (web) services where you cannot control your own updates. Someone decided price and convenience were more important than a consistent, controlled platform.
