Every user installs it--like it or not. No one thinks to ask an administrator. Step 2: Every user calls the administrator demanding to know why their system slows down to a crawl. Meanwhile, Google Desktop Search is laughing hysterically, having already infected 90% of the computer world. Step 3: The administrator heaps through uninstalls and explainations Microsoft and Google want to rule the world. Microsoft says 'oops.' Step 4: Before anyone can breath, Outlook innocently asks how a user can look their neighbors in the eye without shame when they don't have the Quick Search feature enabled. Click OK to be accepted by your peers. Step 5: The administrator looks at 150 systems with a NEW install of Desktop Search 4.0 and curls up in a corner, chewing a power cord.

And this isn't the only Microsoft application that's having issues... Windows Home Server with KB 946676 Vista and SP1, even XP with SP3... In fact, I should ask what actually works correctly as advertised by Microsoft that isn't broken, flawed, defected or the sort? BSOD continues... and everyone pushing Microsoft pat's themselves on the back? While the whole time real customers are made public enemy number one, with all the improved Windows Genuine Advantages, like the painful OS activations, validations every time you Windows Update and the sneaky DMI management locking out hardware, not to mention the DRM (digital rights restrictions) used for MPAA and RIAA media monopolies here. The PC was suppose to be open, friendly and innovative, not some XBox 360 wanna be gaming console!
