Choice - the Microsoft way
Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2003 3:11 am
I wanted to run a test on a pressed CD this evening and made the mistake of putting a Microsoft CD into one of my drives, forgetting that I had autorun enabled. It installed, without any warning or prompting, some sort of Windows Media Player update, then presented me with this dialog box:
So, where is the "No" button? What kind of choice is that? And why did they even bother asking?
No choice about the mystery installation, and no choice about rebooting... It's a good summary of Microsoft's dream in general: no choice at all.
That will teach me to leave autorun enabled...
