Windows 7 Sins

18. September 2009

Erstmal Verzeihung an die rein deutschsprachigen Leser, das ist hier schon das zweite englischsprachige Zitat. Ich kann's leider nicht ändern, und übersetzen will ich es nicht.

... Microsoft have deliberately crippled Windows 7, leaving netbook users at the mercy of Microsoft to control which applications they can use, as well as the number of applications that can be run simultaneously...

... This is not new, however. In 1996, a furor erupted over Microsoft Windows NT. At the time, Microsoft was selling two versions of its operating system: Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server...

... both the NT Workstation code and the license agreement restricted users to no more than ten concurrent TCP/IP (i.e., Internet) connections; while NT Server remained unlimited...

We call such limitations, antifeatures. An antifeature is functionality that a technology developer will charge users to not include — it is more difficult for Microsoft to limit Internet connections than it is to leave them unconstrained — and the limit is not something that any user would request.
