Microsoft and WCG together..

What a thought..

Imagine this sw application implemented in Windows update and any new MS OS..

What an idea - I am shure Mr. Gates would applaude this.

Re: Microsoft and WCG together..

I'm afraid Mr. Gates wouldn't applaud this at all. After all, he can't make profit out of it.

But it would be great if it was an optional Windows Update! smile

I totally agree with you.

Re: Microsoft and WCG together..

Well I think that the support is another aspect, If Windows peinstalled this program, then they would have to support it, and this would cost additional money for MS.

Re: Microsoft and WCG together..

If anything ever went wrong on a Windows system, it would be the fault of the WCG Agent. We would get a lot of bad publicity from that alone, I would think.

Re: Microsoft and WCG together..

And the tool must be written in the same language (the spoken, not the informatical language) as the sysmten language!
