Software exists for three reasons.

  1. Serve the user.

  2. Work reliably.

  3. Leave me alone.

You know, kind of like a microwave, a bed, a table or refrigerator. In the year 2000, we at least had two out of those three; software left me alone and obeyed me. (The less said about the reliability, the better.)

But now, software is failing literally on all three counts.

I miss the 1990s, when Microsoft abused their competitors, not their customers. Say what you want about Windows 9x being about as stable as a stack of empty soda cans in the wind,, but at least it left me the fuck alone!

    OK, now explain to us how this is in any way related to the article

    So, have Microsoft build a dossier on you, or have Google build a dossier on you? Goodness, what a conundrum.
