Re: "come down your throat"

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

i thought this was an odd quote:

"Anderson speculated that the reorganization is also sending a message
to partner companies furious about Vista delays that may cost the
industry "billions." "So many people have been hurt by this current
delay that if you didn't do some kind of reorg, the industry would come

down your throat," he said."

The bigger question is why does the industry think that it's a good idea
to push a new OS on people at Christmas time when they should be holding
off and introducing it slowly so that they work out the bugs so that the
first Service Pack can be released before most home users even consider
it.

The delay will mean many less problems for users, which equates to less
problems for the vendors, which equates to less expense for them and
happier customers.

Sadly, for a guy that claims to be around computers for so long, it's really
hard to believe that you have yet to clue into what MickeyMouse and its
releases are all about. It has nothing to do with bringing out new and
better and more innovative products. It's all about the bottom line. It's
called "marketing" and that is what pushes MickeyMouse forward and all
their associates that participate in the process of "selling" technology to
the public. Of course a delay before the busiest sales period of the year -
Xmas - is going to get alot of these blood suckers in a knot. You can be
sure that MickeyMouse didn't want to have to delay the release like this.
They did because frankly they have long since lost control of the code base
of this bloated "operating system" of some 50 millions lines of patched
code. MickeyMouse has a very serious problem on their hands and they could
delay Fista for another year and still have those problems. It's going to
come out full of bugs and problems. And you can quote me on this, say 3
months after Fista's release and after end-users have had the time to put
it to some real tests.

Fista, whenever it finally comes out is going to be THE tipping point for a
groundswell of computer users who will finally say "enough is enough" and
move on to a real operating system.
