Money's worth
One would expect that software vendors would go out of their way to ensure the products they produce and sell is up to scratch.
Especially in South Africa where we have to pay 6-7 times the retail prices for Microsoft software than in the USA or UK .. we now also have to put up with the obvious fact that the software is riddled with more holes than a sieve (ok, it's been awhile now - but it is getting worse). And to top it all off, it's us legal users that suffer the most.
I sometimes wonder what this world is coming to ... making money at any expense (ie. for as little as possible, with maximum returns) seems to becoming a bigger plague than HIV / AIDS. Our computers are suffering! Let's stop with the Band-Aid solutions and find a Vacine already
