Lots of email and comments on the Messenger thing...apparently in my ignorance, I assumed that a jump from 4.7 to 5.0 indicated a product upgrade. When my Windows Messenger 4.7 told me there was a new version of Messenger available, it was really just asking "Do you want the MSN butterfly to appear in more places on your IM client?"
很多关于Messenger的电子邮件和评论...显然是我的无知,我认为从4.7升至5.0表示产品已升级。 当我的Windows Messenger 4.7告诉我有一个新版本的Messenger时,它实际上只是在问:“您是否希望MSN蝴蝶出现在IM客户端的更多位置?”
Steve Makofsky told me: "The 5.0 version is of MSN Messenger, and the 4.7 version is Windows Messenger. "Windows" messager is what shipped with XP (and is still required for office integration, etc), and the MSN Messenger is for everyone else.. They just released the XP version, which is why it was upgraded. "
史蒂夫·麦科夫斯基( Steve Makofsky)告诉我: “ 5.0版本是MSN Messenger,而4.7版本是Windows Messenger。XP附带了“ Windows”消息程序(Office集成等仍然需要),而MSN Messenger适合所有人其他。他们刚刚发布了XP版本,这就是为什么对其进行了升级。”
Well, I get it NOW, but what the heck to I do with this information? :) I mean, what happens when they release MSN Word, or MSN Excel? What's the point of me having two parallel competing (and each fighting to log in automatically) IM clients? And apparently this one doesn't even integrate with Outlook? I say again, the devil's in the details MSFT...you have to avoid confusing the customer. I'm uninstalling MSN Messenger 5.0, but remember that I installed it because Windows Messenger 4.7 ASKED ME TO!
好吧,我现在知道了,但是对这些信息我有什么用呢? :)我的意思是,当他们发布MSN Word或MSN Excel时会发生什么? 我有两个并行竞争的IM客户端(每个争夺自动登录)有什么意义? 显然,这甚至没有与Outlook集成? 我再说一遍,MSFT细节中的魔鬼……您必须避免混淆客户。 我正在卸载MSN Messenger 5.0,但请记住我已经安装了它,因为Windows Messenger 4.7向我询问!
Now, how do I explain this debacle to my mom, brother, and the 15 other computers that I maintain as neighborhood computer geek?
现在,我如何向我的母亲,兄弟和作为邻居计算机极客维护的其他15台计算机解释这种崩溃?
