I have become tired of microsoft products. To up date our office software we
have to shut down our security system, risking attacks. It seems that
microsoft is to preoccupied in putting software on the market with fancy new
fetures and no consideration for security. Example is microsoft money. We
ran it on a test machine as a favor for one of our execs before she installed
it on har personal computer. In less then an hour over 600 pices of malware
and data minning applets installed to the computer from two different
advertising companies (which after learning of this practice they use we
canciled our contracts with them), by passing all the machines' security
through ports microsoft money uses. The end result was the HDD crashing and
all data on that HDD was corrupted. We have had to deal with simular
problems with other microsoft products. We are now testing a number of other
products and it looks like we will be switching to Adobe for our office and
web development needs if microsoft is not able to rise to the security
standards and reliability required by our company.
Furthermore, this act of forcing users to sign in with dot NET passport
and running users around when they need to obtain assistance is just wrong.
Our company feels that such practices are used by software companies to limit
complaints by increasing the difficulty of reaching someone or someway to ask
questions and give feed back. You really need to work on public relations.
