Working with wsh and hta. I am friend of the 98 world and

followed another friend's advice to upgrading at least with

2000 or Xp; and went full house and tried to install Enterprise Server 2003
today.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

----
OS:
Expected : Copy to fast disk and lots of memory and install quickly
Received : Two paned educational progress and PR screens.
Result : Tedious 1 hour + process for registering and saving during the last
20 minutes
Vector : Entertainment and persuasion like themes.
            Note : 2003 is not MS IQ but pulse rate before you may die of
exhaustion installing it
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
IE:
Expected : Docsis modem and largest Widthband ISP static IP recognition
Received : nothing and (via non ms that) 3 Com specific and exotic $70
network card is minimum.
                Details : present IPS delivered (paid) 3 Com handle worked
great in May 2003
Result : No Internet, despite lookup reversal which installed minutes of
monitoring components and IIS.
Vector : Windows caught an harmless, noncontagious but ugly chronicle
desease called nightmare.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Settings :
Expected : ipconfig window clickable handle or some bread crumb path to DNS
or some of same.
Received : dll to dll recource hta without source view and in place OLE
painted browser control to "External" MS knowledge base.
                Details : "Simple TCP/IP" config now as option seems
supressed against "Web Services" and semantic doctrine.
Result : Percieved logarithmic logic, win3.1 / 1 Dialog vs:  98 / 4 dialogs
vs:  2003 / 16 dialogs or clicks to get to the same.
            Details : The reading prerequisite was enourmous. If you were
programming a loop before Ms was 'invented', you will feel disrespected.
Vector : Multi, Hyper, Dyper threading timeline.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Causalties
Expected : Drives down the chain will be left alone
Received : Enormous time and physical taxing on hardware.
                Details : 6 months old 160 Gig Maxtor e:\ drive suddenly
developed black Norton spots exponentially
Result :     General - Os tried to partition and force ntfs. Polyunsaturated
1+ hours attempts to scandisk and read data.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Other & What's new
Expected : 15.000 seats companies qualifiying for 'shared' source' e.g.
Google or Goverments would show servitude.
Received : Tax authorities and political crooks in EU and USA now use latest
MS software. NET to dictate 'monetary' evolution by status.
Result : If you never owned a square place like twin towers, dresden, or
hiroshima, you probably know why you never would.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Executive Summary:
Expected :   Sauerkraut, Bratwurst, hard roll, and a room with a view.
Received : Dollar 0.99 to 1.35 super sized stacked, depending on idom, crack
shot meal, surounded by 2 dozend eager jobless.
Result :     MS may not know the difference between Sinois and Chinese, but
sure earned her help language award among them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
On the non-dictatorial side :
What took the Romans and Greek millenia, the Americans centuries, and MS
decades:
may eventually pane for users, namely avoiding 'educational' server
software.
========
To much, yes to much of it already.
