MICROSOFT = WINDOWS (WIN98)

It all started with Win95, as soon a operating system maker ventured into the field of networks and internet, people started shouting wolf, wolf, the story needs approach, there are 2 sides in a conflict, my side and the wrong side (hehe) No lets make it simple.

Microsoft Makes Operating System and did some very innovative deals with Computer Manufacturers (Apple)pre install every Computer leaving assembly line with a Operating System at the cost of (US 1 Cent) (MS Dos days) Before this event Computers were there but only for learned Engineers and (PHD) Doctors. We used to purchase a computer, hire a technician to ready the hard disk for read write operations and install (Operating System) Charges of Technician, Operating System Cost and others costs used to make computers out of reach of Home users (PC).

Without catalyst things would not have changed, the catalyst was Microsoft and impetus to change was Windows, computers became ready, unpack, plug, and follow the screen prompts and work. This ease of use literally transformed each one of us into COMPUTER ADDICT.

We are practicing amateur journalism on this beautiful site because of this unspoken and untalked revolution. Every hardware make, every gadget make everyone followed Windows and its trends, Windows due pre installation had the reach and most easy to use. This is my most concise dedication to the most popular operating system in this solar system. (Aliens prefer it to their own systems).

Windows 98 is an operating system; I pay for just operating system and enjoy a browser, A Disk maintenance system, Movies, Audio Players, Chat Clients, and Games around 80 to 90 Windows useful applications are packed with it. All these are in the ease of use mode. Let’s look at the system itself from programmers point of view.

I am no expert in programming but those who know (C Language) or (Visual C++) they know everything is a windows object on my desktop, the start menu, the tools, the tool bars, the modal dialog box, the frames, the parent application containers, the child document containers are defined by parameters, behavior defined, procedures defined, in class files and code files, they all do not become ready to use without extensive debugging and extensive bullet proofing the software, the beta versions are given to thousands of Software Analysts, they misuse it, abort it, do all their tricks with a record of every key pressed back to the manufacturers with their reports. I mean what we are using is a hard work, sweat and exhaustive knowledge application and use to complete a successful software like Disk Operating System Windows 98.

The system files, the library files (DLL) are managing memories, screen areas, hardware devices everything connected to your computer, even cables need codes for messages to travel thru it. There are millions of messages traveling to and fro between window objects and operating systems, if you don’t believe me, then install (Spy++) and just watch all the activity visually your computer operating system is busier than the busiest crossroads. All this I am giving in plain speak to give each of us a general idea that basic bits of : 01,01,01,01 the real switches interpreted by mechanical device like HARD DISK is combining to make the fantastic screens of Windows 98 on our computers.

I cannot speak about windows without a eye on the big picture, what windows has done to our computers, we don’t even have patience to realize it, this system has single handedly made chip makers smart, hardware devices smart, encryptions smart, downloads smart, ftp's smart, servers smart, browsers smart, videos smart, audio smart, cards smart and with this all made the world all over smart, specially everyone below the age of 19 years. We each of us owe our smartness to windows operating systems in a way.

No computer manufacturer ever bothered to look at or think about home user (PC) market, they were busy making super computers and high cost computers, acquiring governments as clients and corporate houses as clients was a race among computer manufacturers, we knew about computers only thru newspaper reports, we never had the privilege to lay eyes on a real live computer except the exclusive learned club.

The Windows operating system brought home the computers (PC) if it did not do then it is the prime mover of this whole computer industry. Nobody can deny this, its very evident, back to programming structure of window objects, lets say code writers often times, simply refer in their code for active window in focus as (ME) the programmer do not even know who are the 3rd.party software manufacturers, he only knows his own code and how to make it work seamlessly and properly without bugs, he makes procedures and commands in anticipation of his users and their use needs this is the perspective his code is written.

If the 3rd.(Third) party software has their (ME) code or some such thing and the Windows Operating System do not respond properly to it, then is he guilty of monopolizing his software? That is really absurd and narrow, you cannot quote all these code statements in lawyerly terms or business law regulations, and it is simply welding frog’s leg to a chicken. This is not done in real practical terms. What is the fault of MICROSOFT if the codes are what they are? They followed all the standard coding practices prescribed by the world body of programmers. How can they monopolize their code if they are not aware of the code of other software manufacturers, there is only guilt of interpretation here. The real guilt is of intent.

Now Lawyers, Judges, Journalists, Competitors want to break MICROSOFT into small parts the maker of windows 98, they are the father of (PC) This intended break up will result in suffering by the Personal Computer users (PC USERS) We will have to buy each bit of windows applications separately and very costly, as overheads will bloat its rates. Be sure about this prediction.

MICROSOFT deserve a better deal, this company bought to China, India, Thailand, Nepal, Bangladesh, Philippines, Srilanka, Tibet, Bhutan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia etc., the power to go to CYBERCAFE and use computers under WINDOWS 98. We could never have achieved that, my kid in India is in 6 classes, he has computer lessons every week. He is learning to use Windows 98, these lessons will become costly in future, and I will have to go without it. Who can afford costly software in this world anyway? The prime mover of this industry MICROSOFT and Mr. Bill Gates has made it possible for me to teach my kid computers.

Please break down TAJ MAHAL into small bits and pieces, this building has monopolized beauty of architecture all for itself, the other engineers are angry because nobody is praising their hard work because of TAJ MAHAL, this is false logic and leads to self destruct.

A miscarried verdict can be corrected, please do not deprive us all of OFFICE 2006 and future of Windows XP and after. Make some laws to protect the majority consumers not the minority wealthy few. What about the handwork of MICROSOFT programmers, if this company is broken into bits and pieces, who will inherit the (CLASS FILES) they are in millions, where will they be used, how can be break into pieces some (CLASS FILES) which were helping, Windows, Office and other multi platforms, what will become of those files. If this company is curtailed in their operations what will happen to those files.

I am sure we computer users will pay a big price if MICROSOFT is broken. Soon software will cost twice the price of a COMPUTER. If MICROSOFT just threaten to supply all those (CLASS FILES) free for download over the internet, like Mr. Tim Berners Lee (Internet Inventor) it will disturb the whole software industry for 100 years to come, all the kings men will not be able to put Humpty Dumpy together again.

Yo world building is difficult destroying is very easy!!!!!
