| schestowitz[TR2] | This is why I still use lots of Windows 9x era software. I don't have to upgrade and it does what I need. A sink hole could open up and pull Microsoft down to hell, the entire internet could disappear, and I could still access my own computer, my own data, and get useful work done. | Aug 15 05:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | But how do you make any of this attractive to "normal" people? | Aug 15 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It's like they crave violent ass rape, seeking out ways to requre that they get raped constantly, with every corner of their ass hole being documented and published for other ass rapers to enjoy. What the hell?" | Aug 15 05:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "The problem with that is , it only buys you time. Once of these days a PC will come out that won't boot your favorite OS, or Mozilla will drop support for your favorite OS and eventually the last version will have outdated certs. | Aug 15 05:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Don't think you're free if you get off the upgrade trademill: at some point, you'll have to get back on whether you like it or not. The Microsofts, Googles and Apples of the world know it full well, and that's a lot of the reason why they keep "innovating" at breakneck speed when logic would dictate that monopolies should logically want to milk their existing cash cows that nobody can avoid without spending a penny changing them." | Aug 15 05:38 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM management structure works where once a mandate comes down the management pipe not one level of management asks why or any challenging questions. This creates an issue where the work horses are directed of the mandate, 1st or 2nd line mangers can not answer any questions that the worker bees ask. Resulting with a work force doing as directed but doesn’t have the foggiest why. | Aug 15 16:03 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The longer I’m here, the more convinced I am that mid mgmt is especially problematic. Sure, IBM is not in the best shape, and the company in general is meandering and constantly losing its footing. But so much fails on the level of mid mgmt and that translates into bad immediate mgmt. Competent manager can make a bad team good. Instead they ruin good teams, and make bad teams even worse. At my little corner things got so bad that | Aug 15 16:03 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | It’s the captains of industry playing follow the leader. We’re doing it because Intel, Cisco, and Dell are doing it and they all can’t be wrong. Bain and McKinsey you have to get a new “shtick” because all of your customers are running out of employees to sack. | Aug 15 16:04 |
