Oh, this mail exchange is golden.
Oh, this mail exchange is golden. Note in particular one of the responses to Bill's concerns: "One of the biggest issues today is that WU provides no way to promote a download to an end-user. We want to promote MM2 and WMP98 to end-users as something new and cool that they can get for Windows. Three lines of text describing it buried under "Windows XP" in a page thal the user has to purposeful~/go find just isn’t good enough. Why can’t the WU client-s~de piece proactively display a bubble "Look! Cool, new features for Windows XP" and the option to display a much richer "advertisement" for the feature if the user wants to read more" (WU is Windows Update) This is how we end up with so much crap in software. It's like there are people in important positions who live in alternate reality where those ideas don't immediately sound fucking insane. Thank you for posting this rare opportunity to look into the minds of people that are responsible for all this mess we have to deal with.
