I'm hoping this list gets some traction so I'm going to ping a bunch of the people who have indicated interest in Windows, and/or Microsoft.

FULL DISCLOSURE

If you want to know my background, here's a section of my FR Profile page devoted to it. Or if you don't want to read that, here's the...

Executive Summary:

I've been doing computer software since 1970, hardware design since 1976, I've designed and built computers (hardware, software, entire systems) for spacecraft, industrial process control, commercial applications, and consumer products. I was a System Engineer most of my career, now I'm doing System Administration for a software outfit in upstate NY. Over the years I've made most of my money working on or with Microsoft software -- 8KBASIC and Xenix and MS-DOS and Windows, every release of Windows since 2.0! These days I work with every kind of computer and operating system, not just Windows -- all of 'em. :)

So you will find this Ping List to be pretty even-handed, at least insofar as I have any comments to make. I don't waste my time hating on any particular piece of software or hardware, that's just dumb. But I do have opinions, and I look forward to reading yours!

So I believe I'm qualified to pick up the reins of a Windows Ping List, and I invite y'all to get on board and let's see if we can make this turkey fly!!

Thanks and FRegards,
Dayglored

I want a button on my Windows screen that shuts down all non-essential programs so I can devote all my processing capability to run Crusader Kings II for 3000 game years.
