Headline: 'Next Microsoft O/S has touch controls'

That headline prompted this to Dear Editor at the Vancouver Sun...
Dear Editor:
Accessing the Windows operating system isn't the main problem
that most of us have with Microsoft - it's what we're connected to
afterward that makes us cuss a lot.
I refer specifically to their 'everything Microsoft' philosophy, at the
expense of a more adaptable operating system foundation which
could better support all the wonderful third-party software now
available, such as Open Office, the free office suite that many find
superior to the Microsoft version, and others like Mozilla's great
browser 'Firefox' and equally great email program 'Thunderbird',
both of which are more secure and more resistant to infection
than Microsoft's versions.
Microsoft has opted to design a program aimed at the gamers and
the 'show & tell' crowd, at the expense of a really reliable and bug-free
operating system that the business community could embrace. That's
how many of us see it, and discussing this with Microsoft gets us nowhere.
Enjoy your day,
