From Journeyman to Master

Our brilliant BA, Gord, had a brilliant question the other day. He said, “If Safe Mode is what Microsoft suggests you to boot into when you have trouble with Windows, does it mean that the normal mode we are using everyday is the Unsafe Mode?” To be honest, I never thought about it at all. Linux has the similar idea but it’s called Recovery Mode. Even Microsoft has a Recovery Console for Windows XP. So I don’t believe this is just a marketing gimmick. My bet is that Microsoft truly believes that the Safe Mode is safer for its users.
