Now Perry.. Lets not internalize this or make it personal or otherwise..

What my talents are/are not is not germane. Yes, I have had late nights trying to get something to work. And yes, often has been the case where I missed some obvious point or the like that would have made my job easier. Other times, the problems arises from the fact that the software does not work as advertised..

All that said, having choice does not mean that the quality has to be bad or that inter-operability does not exist. i.e. - there is no cause/effect relationship..


>You make think its not good enough, because you are talented enough to get things to work correctly. However, not everyone is on your level. As a matter of fact, not everyone thinks like you in this situation. I've read numerous quotes over the last week or so, from folks who took the MS way after battling other vendors.

>>FWIW, the example you give is not all that great. Perhaps a few additional tweaks were needed in order for the POS software to work with the accounting software. The example you give, either real or contrived, does little to weaken the argument that choice is bad.
