It looks like microsoft has struck again. :(

There's gotta be some way to use this in SR. Anyone got any ideas?

Ok, how about creating highly specialized programs that, in theory, are
great and work miracles in the matrix. However, you can only get then for
Windows '57, which makes them mega unreliable, and you have to keep buying
upgrades... plus your deck crashes on a regular basis? The programs would
be pretty cheap to buy, and if and when they work, work better than anything
else, but only work l;ike that 10 percent of the time...

Now, I know that WEindows programs don't REALLY work better than anything
else out there... usually quite the opposite... But you have to make some
reason to buy it, otherwise no one would ever touch it...

Or, if your decker wanted to get a Sleaze program at Rating 8, but didn't
want to spend as much cash... Here, buy the Windows program...:):):)

Hmmm, just imagine trying to interface with windows in 3-d and VR...:)

Natsier than Black Ice at rating 20...:)

If you check your sourcebooks, you'll find that Microsoft still exist in
205* as Microdeck... which means an awful lot of deckers out there, have
Microsoft components in the cyberdecks.... <grin>

Now.... Who wants to be a Decker <evil grin>

No wonder so many deckers make their own components...
