Dave & I don’t always agree, but this was a good video. Admitting Windows coddles it’s users too much, showing why Windows lost it’s hardcore audience, and what it would take to win any of us back. (Not that that’s likely, but what it would take)

    Great line at the end:

    …Windows tries to be a friendly town for everybody and the zoning board forgot to include a neighborhood for the weirdos who build their own furniture. We don’t want to take over your town, we don’t even want to change it. We just a workshop with sharp chisels and permission to make a mess. Give us that and we’ll stop complaining about the art you choose for City Hall.

        I take it as them saying: give those interested the tools and ability to mess with deeper systems and customisation and ability to break things. That doesnt have to change the experience for everyone else.

          Honestly what Microsoft should have done was sorta what Apple did with BSD but with Linux, write a killer front end but leave the Unix bits underneath. There’s your workshop to make a mess.
