Bill Gates literally got rich because Americans don't have enough conflict in their lives.
I remember when there was a press release stating that Allen-Bradley was partnering with Microsoft to make better software...I cringed a bit. This was very early in my career.
I recently had to install one of the newer versions and had to right click and "run as administrator" the install program even though I am an administrator on my machine.
For awhile now RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 will crash unless I set the apps to "run as administrator" even after successfully installing them.
I think that Rockwell Software is among the worst of bloatware I have to deal with in my line of work. It's as if they make it excessively complicated and difficult to install to justify the costs. If it installed quickly and easily you would ask yourself "That's it? I paid $3500 for that?".
