The Windows 3.1 Add Fonts Dialog is still in Vista Build 5472!

| But, some things never change. One of those things is the
| "Add Fonts" dialog, straight from Windows 3.1. This dialog has
| been in Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000,
| and Windows XP. I think it's time for an update, but aparently this is
| not on any list at Microsoft :).

This comment reminded me of something which the founder of Firefox recently
said:
,----[ Quote ]
| The truth is I think Microsoft is very directly responsible for spyware
| and adware and the pop-up ads in general that proliferated across the
| Web after they abandoned their product. I mean, this is the world's
| most-used software application ever ... and I just think it's
| irresponsible for a company to abandon it simply because they can't
| find a financial incentive to continue development on it.

| My answer to that is, how much can you really trust a company that five
| years ago completely left you abandoned? If they do, in fact, succeed in
| taking back some of the market share that Firefox has gotten back from
| them, who's to say that they're not going to disappear again? My issue
| is not so much at a product level; it's at a company level. How do you
| trust a company that left everyone out in the cold for five years?
