I've been a Windows user since version 1.0 that I installed from 14 floppy disks on my IBM 286. It's been an interesting ride. I think Windows has had 4 peaks so far: Windows 95, NT, 2000, and 7. As one of their older customers, I feel mostly anger and sadness towards Microsoft. I get it, B2B pays and the average user is a plebe, but what a shame.

Say what you want, but Microsoft has always explored and pushed boundaries of computing, but the company's aggressive nature is ultimately their downfall IMHO. Catering to business needs is understandable, but if all your relationships are adversarial, you're doomed to fail because nobody loves you.

Taskbar position? El-Oh-El. Sucks to be tone-deaf I guess. Good luck with adding more widget controls.
