Consensus reality (as one of my friends calls it). If everyone thinks that something should work a certain way then they will alter reality so that it works as they think it should. With all these ads they can get the masses to believe that it really works now and then it actually will (even if it's not supposed to work properly). :)

Hey, I saw the ads on TV. Microsoft now makes enterprise software, which gives sa's peace of mind...

It always amazes me how companies identify a problem, then create ads to turn people's perception around. So now Microsoft is telling people that their systems are reliable and never crash, so system administrators can relax.

Hopefully with Win2K they actually fixed the problems, and are not just posting ads on TV to turn people's perception around to boost sales.

Eventually I will figure out how the world works. It's taking me a while, though.

        There is, however, one significant difference: stability. If
Microsoft
        starts making stable
        products, we might just as well start using them, but  knowing
Microsoft,
        I'm not overly
        worried.
