Don't throw away that Win98 disc!

[Alias]

Whereas you *never* throw insults, right?

Mike

Only when deserved. You, sir, seem to be able to do nothing else.

ROTFLMAO..

Sometimes I feel like telling some of the insulters that they could safely
drive at their IQ's without risking a ticket (even in a School Zone).

Only to trolls like you who invade MS newsgroups and preach Linux. No one
here cares about Linux. If we did, we'd be in a Linux newsgroup asking how
to get the wireless networking going, like every other Linux Luser.

So, what other minority do you despise, insult and consider to be second
class citizens? That said, I am also a Windows user. I have XP on all
three of my computers and I expect I will keep them until MS decides not
to support them anymore. After all, XP is really cool except for the
anti piracy foolishness.

I will eventually get Vista when it has SP2 for my kid's computers for
games so I have a right to read and post in this newsgroup without
people like you insulting me.

You are too funny, and certainly no model for why anybody should switch to
LInux, regardless of variant.. you have as much intention of migrating to
Ubuntu as I do, and the resultant number does not look promising.. a big fat
'0'..

I'm not trying to be a model for anything.

Now you can read my mind? Next week is Ubuntu week and you will see me
posting from there, I can assure you.

Even funnier.. Ubuntu Week.. thanks for that one..

Glad you like it. It does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

None, just LinTrolls like you.

Yeah, a week with Ubuntu is about all anyone can stand!

Did your mommy teach you to insult people with whom you disagree?

Alias

 

[Mike Hall - MS MVP Windows Shell/User]

Yes, and hear that ring.. DUNG!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you like it. It does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

No, Linux Lusers like you did.

Yet another insult. Don't respond, Mike, because I'm through with you.

Embarrassed by your ignorance of Ubuntu 6.10, aren't you!

[Nina DiBoy]

Only just.

Mike

You are contradicting yourself Mike. Here you are saying that "Linux
Loonies" are "only just" people, yet below a quote from you earlier in
this thread implies that you don't really think "Linux Loonies" are people.

"But I'm not insulting people. I'm insulting Linux Loonies..."

So what is it?

 

[Nina DiBoy]

There's lots of things that MS does that I like. Oops.


How about getting rid of WGA/WPA/WGAN/SPP and any other "anti piracy"
foolishness?


Said what?

Alias

Well Mike, I don't know if you are lumping me into the group of *people*
(yes, we are people) who you give the highly esteemed title of "Linux
Loonies" to, but I'm not a boy (or fanboy for that matter) and I do like
some of the things MS does. Not much, but some, like this for example:

IE6 and IE7 easier for Windows users. Previously, you had to pay for an
additional Windows license to legally run both versions of IE for
testing purposes. Now Microsoft is [1]making available free Windows
XP/IE6 images available for VirtualPC (also free as MS is competing with
VMWare). This means that you can run IE6 in a virtual machine while
running IE7 on your host machine. The drawback is that the download is
set to expire April
2007 ... although we are promised new versions will be released. What
Microsoft doesn't mention is that Virtual PC also runs on Windows 2000
(and IE7 doesn't). Therefore it's possible to install this Windows XP
VPC image on your Win2k machine. You can then update IE6 on the XP image
to IE7, testing IE7 without upgrading from Win2k. This is all-around
excellent news for web developers."

I was being generous with the "only just" comment.

Um, last post to you, chum. I know all about 6.10 and I know it's still
in development. Once it's out of development, I will go for it.

Now, buzz off, will you?

Alias comes here to promote Ubuntu, the future of computing as he sees
it.. he hasn't fully migrated to it yet though.. moving to Ubuntu
requires careful planning (about as much planning as getting out an
abacus and moving all of the beads to one side)..

Part of the plan is to get others to use Ubuntu such that he has
somebody to lean on when he has problems with it..

Oh you can read minds now, is that it?
