Microsoft Needs a Code Pope | |
|

Microsoft needs to back up and re-fork its OS development from Windows 2000 Professional or even Windows NT 4.0. Then it needs to find a "pope" who can understand the code base. First, the coders seem to assume that Windows 2000 Professional is the best version of the system ever. There are a lot of reasons for this assumption, not the least of which is that you can do multiple installs without having to call Microsoft Central and explain why. It's also not the most visually attractive version of Windows, and that has a certain appeal to the pizza-eating slobs who tend to be heavily into coding. | ||
