I think there'll always be a broadly characterized "split" between
people who use a computer for heavy production work, and those who use
it more for light operations like email, a few letters, and maybe a
quick list.
Microsoft has tended to focus their sales on enterprise-level buyers,
which brings up an interesting irony: Presumably, corporate workers
need a heavy-duty, high-speed, very functional application suite. So
how come the annual improvements are toward prettier, slowed down, and
incompatibility with previous versions?
I wonder if there's a correlation between the lack of customer service,
outsourcing of corporate jobs, and the need for simpler and simpler
versions of complicated products? Computers aren't easy, but not
because of the computers and technology. It's because of the complexity
of thought, logic, structure, and analysis the *human operator* is
attempting to show on that tool---the computer.
