Software Dictatorship - A daily dichotomy

There’s something that’s been on my mind. It’s something I’ve spent many hours pondering recently.

Choice.

Specifically, which software to choose.

Which path to take.

Will going down path A get me there in the end or is path B the right choice for me…

Accounting software, IM’s, Calendaring, VNC, and the mother of all software choices - the OS itself.

Sometimes I think it would be good if Microsoft (or some equally powerful higher being) decreed what software was to be used for what purpose, and everyone just got along and used it. One standard, one developer, one channel of support…, simple. A software dictatorship if you like.

But alas, with every passing day, the number of choices only grows. Which seems to be directly proportional to my level of hesitancy to commit to the path I know I need to (at some stage, maybe tomorrow…?) take.

Would love for someone to reaffirm why choice is such a good thing, because I’m starting to loose faith in diversity.

Have at it.

(If you choose :-)
