Quoth Kent: "MS is too stupid to correctly apply principles of backward compatibility in their development and maintenance processes"

Ya think? :-)

This has been a complaint against MS for, literally, decades. Either they hobble their new systems by clumsily implementing backward-compatibility, or they break backward compatibility completely. They never get the balance right.

So yes, they *are* that stupid!

Of course, they are *also* that slimey that they will deliberately fiddle with your machine, without your knowledge, purely for their own ends.
