I haven't had any serious problems with VISTA, and, like you, I think the
linuxboys' comments about impending doom at MS are kinda funny.

The funniest thing is the whinging about, and in some cases trying to
justify
stealing software, Microsoft buying some technology instead of building it
themselves.

I picture a policeman arresting a man who has stolen his neighbors car.

"Officer... I'm innocent, he didn't build the car, he bloody bought it!"

What ignorance? I stated an opinion and you got your panties all in a bunch.

You just can't figure that out!

Not everyone has all day to read the news, like you. Some people actually

For your information, some newsreaders can not handle a pgp-mime digital
signature. For that reason, I use an inline signature.

Your statement, "Sounds like an inferior mail delivery system if you ask
me", clearly points to ignorance.

Bill is full of opinions and control freakery
but I've yet to see him help anyone on this forum.
Mind you... I've blinked once or twice
so I may have missed it.

It's just dumbnuts playing with PGP because he's running Thunderbird. He
doesn't understand that newsgroups need PGP like a hole in the head. Who
the **** cares if his postings here are signed and he's really who he
thinks he is? No one would want to meet the prick in person anyways.

Just about any PC you buy from a box store is equipped to boot up, surf
the internet, and handle email, because most of those PCs come with a
version of Win installed. No software cost to the user.

Yes, ubuntu found one of my printers, but the feature set its driver
offered was not nearly as good as the one available through VISTA.

It's okay; you missed the point, but I don't care.

 

[Doris Day - MFB]

Yes, dear.

Finally figured out what the Windoze Fanboys around here have in common,
besides liking to blow Microsoft. They all have reading comprehension
problems too. Wonder how they get through life? Wonder if they ever read a
book? Or a newspaper for that matter.

Gross moral turpitude seasoned with kleptomania.

Oh please. Everyone knows MS copies a lot from other companies.

Have you seen this video ? ......

(And YES, this video is completly sarcastic, so don't take it as the guy
trying to be serious.)

Do you think MS was the first to make a GUI based OS, think again. The
entire Windows concept was stolen from Xerox (who may have stole it from
someone else even).

The whole thing about the supposed patent infringements in the TCP/IP
stack....give me a break. Berkeley is where TCP/IP was originally
developed. So how much of the Berkeley implementation was 'stolen' by MS
?

I always believe that every human being has something good to offer
(sometimes) but I'm having a real hard time seeing beyond your outright
hatred for all things MS and your damning contempt for anyone in this ng
who doesn't have a problem with Vista.
By your very own posted words, you portray yourself as an absolutely
intolerant, insufferable and very despicable, unlikable and unwanted person.
You must be a very unhappy to need to purposefully project this persona.
And it seems you're only here to spread your hatred and unhappiness.
Isn't there enough unhappiness and hatred in this world without people
like you actively contributing to it on a daily basis?
Is turning into a person like you what happens to someone when they
become a linux user? Is that the needed criteria?
Are your types what anyone could expect to find in the linux ng's?
If hatred of MS and unhappiness in ones life are whats needed to use
linux well...I for one will take a past.

Have you visited the ubuntu newsgroups? Full of snarling snarkies whose
advice for those with a linux problem is to "go look it up." Yet another
reason not to go with linux.

 

[Joseph Johnson]

Wow, you folks are a fiesty bunch, relative to other responses on this
thread.

http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3676641


Having just returned from China, I can say 90% of what is still used is
pirated and it has been this way for as long as I've seen it, however
seeing more Linux everywhere.

For China to play ball with the WTO and the USA, official China has to go
legit, and the gov't is increasingly looking to Linux for cost effective
general computing.

Its not cost effective for the USA to look to Linux were our labor is 10x
the cost of China, or Vietnam or the PHilippines. But for the 3rd world,
there is the economics to develop open source on a large scale.

I'm certainly not enjoying Vista, but I'm enjoying this thread...
I can't hardly believe Bill is going to go under.

When you buy a boxed machine and the OS is included, you are not paying
anything extra for the OS. Its cost is factored in, eh?

"Included" doesn't mean "free".
