Something seems to have gone horribly wrong in an untold number of IT departments on Wednesday after Microsoft installed a resource-hogging search application on machines company-wide, even though administrators had configured systems not to use the program.
"The admins at my place were in a flap this morning because Windows Desktop Search 3.01 had suddenly started installing itself on desktops throughout the company," a Reg reader by the name of Rob informs us. "The trouble is that once installed, the indexer kicks in and slows the
machines down."
Who in their right mind would buy products from Microsoft. News flash people! It's CRAP!! Stop buying it! Fortunately some problems take care of themselves. More and dysfunctional companies that have crippled themselves by being in the MS-camp with both feet year after year are being left in the dust.
Don't get me wrong, I liked Windows 3.1. Anyway, meanwhile...

Leopard: Faster, Easier Than Vista
Personally, I'm not a member of the Church of Apple and I don't own a single while box with rounded corners. But Apple is clearly firing on all cylinders. Hats off to Steve Jobs, nice work!
