No coz, jestem uzytkownikiem M$ VB5 wersja Pro.
Mam ich trzy licencje bo zajmuje sie tym zawodowo i pracuje z kilkoma
komputerami. Staram sie byc w zgodzie z prawem.
Ostatnio natrafilem na dziewne zachowanie moich komputerow od kiedy
zachcialo mi sie zrobic Web Browser w mojej aplikacji. Coz sie okazalo?
VB5 nie chce umiescic MS Interenet Control wsrod dostepnych do uzytku
"kontroli".
Spedzielem dosc duzo czasu starajac sie zorientowac co jest grane,
rejestrowalem po kilka razy SHDOCVW.DLL do registry i nic nie pomagalo.
Wreszcie doszedlem do wniosku iz moze to byc wynikiem istniejacego w
systemie (lub nie istniejacego) pakietu Internet Explorer. Ja nie uzywam
tego "produktu" i nigdy nie bylem zainteresowany w robieniu
jakiegokolwiek "update". Coz za bledne podejscie! Od momentu kiedy
zainstalowalem na swojej maszynie IE 3.0 wszystko wrocilo do normy i od
tej pory wszystko zgadzalo sie z dokumentacja VB5. No coz, dokumentacja
nie mowi ze aby uzyc MS Interenet Control musze miec IE 3.0
zainstalowany na moim komputerze rwniez.

Tyle mojego dodatku do dyskusji na temat VB5 itp. Jeszcze raz Micro$oft
mnie zaskoczyl ! Mozna sie bylo tego spodziewac !

Pozdrawiam wszystkich uzytkownikow software made by M$!

A to kawalek z nowosci o Microsoft.  Coz , to moze byc prawda :

Press Release


REDMOND, Wash. - Oct. 24, 1997 -- In direct response to accusations made
by
the Department of Justice, the Microsoft Corp. announced today that it
will be
acquiring the federal government of the United States of America for an
undisclosed sum.
"It's actually a logical extension of our planned growth", said
Microsoft
chairman Bill Gates, "It really is going to be a positive arrangement
for everyone".
Microsoft representatives held a briefing in the oval office of the
White House with U.S. President Bill Clinton, and assured members of the
press that changes will be "minimal". The United States will be managed
as a wholly owned division of Microsoft. An initial public offering is
planned for July of next year, and the federal government is expected to
be profitable by "Q4
1999 at latest", according to Microsoft president Steve Ballmer.
In a related announcement, Bill Clinton stated that he had "willingly
and
enthusiastically" accepted a position as a vice president with
Microsoft, and will continue to manage the United States government,
reporting directly to Bill Gates. When asked how it felt o give up the
mantle of executive authority to Gates, Clinton smiled and referred to
it as "a relief". He went on to say that Gates has a "proven track
record", and that U.S. citizens should offer Gates their "full support
and confidence".  Clinton will reportedly be earning several times the
$200,000 annually he has earned as U.S. president, in his new role at
Microsoft. Gates ismissed a suggestion that the U.S. Capitol be moved to
Redmond as "silly", though did say that he would make executive
decisions for the U.S. government from his existing office at  icrosoft
headquarters. Gates went on to say that the House and Senate would "of
course" be  bolished.
"Microsoft isn't a democracy", he observed, "and look how well we're
doing". When asked if the rumored attendant acquisition of Canada was
proceeding, Gates said, "We don't deny that  iscussions are taking
place".
Microsoft representatives closed the conference by stating that United
States citizens will be able to expect lower taxes, increases in
government services and discounts on all Microsoft products.
