not happy with Google

Google’s attitude towards users is a mystery to me.  They discontinued Desktop, which I found to be a very helpful application and used it regularly.  They discontinued the very popular Reader, driving many of us who used this service to aggregate and read multiple blog posts every day to subscribe to another service.  They stopped the application that synced OUTLOOK with the Google Calendarreducing the functionality of the calendar.  And now?  As of today, Google announced it is no longer supporting the little Gtalk desktop application.  Instead, they are shoving all users willy-nillly into the Hangout app. 



this is what hangout looks like when it is minimized, instead of going quietly in the tray .



and it insists on opening a window right there in mid-screen when I try to access it 



Gtalk lets me resize the window, and move it where I can see it most easily





 

I don’t like Hangout and I don't want to use it unless I can sort my contacts as I want, update my status and decide where on my desktop Hangouts show.  But Google doesn't care because they have made up their minds.....
