If Linux is so Bad, Why is Microsoft so Interested?

[Stephan Rose]

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.

Actually you were given quite a lot of help and a few people even went
beyond the ordinary and provided you with precise instructions and links to
sites explaining exactly how to do what you wanted to do.

In the end though you still didn't get it. So who's to blame here but you?

You might want to peruse the Tech section of Google News or any of the
hundreds of tech web sites if you would really like to become informed.


You ought to take your own advice.



urbuttoo is a freakin toy for lintards losers like you. On the other
hand, Visa is a real OS for getting things done.

Let's see...

My XP Installation from October year is getting slower day by day and more
unstable day by day (no, no adware / spyware or viruses)...and has not been
changed or modified from day the it was installed. Just plain simple MS Bit
rot.

My Ubuntu installation from January, has been upgraded from 6.06 to 6.10 to
7.04 BETA to 7.04 Final Release. It's gone through several different
kernels and has beem completely upgraded several times.

It's still as fast, responsive and stable as it was the day I installed it.

I probably spend an entire working day a week with dealing with various
assorted windows problems, general lack of speed, assuring the machine
stays free of adware, spyware and viruses, defragging hard drives, etc.

To me, windows is the Toy OS. Unfortunately I can't entirely get rid of it
yet.

Honestly once I move into my new office, I am thinking of building 2
seperate systems. One Linux system for most my work and then a seperate
windows system, not connected to any network, for the few windows apps I
still occasionally need. USB stick is sufficient enough to move data to /
from the machine and I don't need security updates on a machine not exposed
to the outside world.

At least if it's not connected to a network I don't need to deal with
keeping adware, viruses and spyware off it.

Actually ya know what, that raises a legitimate question. Can this even be
done with Vista seeing how it likes to phone home and it wouldn't be able
to without a network connection?

Actually, I got a bunch of snotty responses, and one or two helpful
responses, but by then I had figured out my precise problem and dumped
the virus known as ubuntu. I'm sure the hobbyists and tinkerers love it,
though. Ubuntu reminds me of the days I used to make my own model
railroad kits from pieces and parts leftover from other kits.

Let's see, you mentioned you want to remove Ubuntu. You were told how. You
then proceeded to complain, in a rather snotty way, that the instructions
were based on Windows XP but yet you did not state you were trying to get
back to Vista in your original post.

The only person I really ever see being snotty was you! I mean sure, some
people eventually got annoyed with you. However the only reason this
happened was your attitude. So if you are looking for someone to blame,
like I said, blame yourself.

But just like you didn't get it before, I don't expect you to get this
either.

Hum...

1. He did not correct explain his problem. ie, he didn’t mentioned Vista.
2. He continues to ask for help to use Vista tools in a linux NG?
3. He obviously made the wrong decision to call something from linux a
virus. That's where it went down hill fast.
4. I hate Google idiots myself.

To begin with, he didn’t understand the information he was given. That
seemed to have made some of the linux guys a little frustrated. Then they
continued with the google BS. Sorry but that will piss anyone off. If
google was the end all, be all of answers then there wouldn't be any NGs.
Then he insulted them by calling a linux component a virus. Not sure what
he was trying to gain from that??? Then NoStop even continued and gave him
the magic link only to have HK claim he fixed it on his own? Sure! Then he
continues to slam Ubuntu....again, to gain what? Popularity?

So between Google and Virus everything went to hell and both sides got
pissy.

Lesson for today: Don’t call Linux a virus to linux users and quit friggen
telling people to google!

Another lesson: If you're going to ask for FREE HELP, be nice about it!!!

Speaking of idiots... just imagine how many people hate you pissing
all over this newsgroup day in and day out with your mindless bullshit
and endless fighting with everybody that don't agree with your lame
comments that you simply can't resist making in every thread, every
day, all the time.

You remind me of Queen Rosie, bitch bitch, moan, bellyache, whine,
holler, mash your teeth, growling, sneering, day in, day out.
Obviously you both lose your temper easily, you both fly off the
handle constantly, blah, blah, blah. That's YOU and her.

Neither one of you can GROW UP or shut the F up.

You don't have the smarts to piss anybody off. We just wish your mama
and daddy would have taught you some manners and common sense.
Obviously they haven't.

So between Google and Virus everything went to hell and both sides got
pissy.

You can't point to more than 1% of your posts that aren't pissy in
nature. That's what you are; a pissy little s*it for brains crybaby
who's damn lucky he isn't flapping is gums in front of the person he's
whining at or you never would get through a week without a fat lip.

Lesson for today: Don’t call Linux a virus to linux users and quit friggen
telling people to google!

Lesson for the day: Grow up. Please kid, take a hint.

 

[Vigilante]

I went with Microsoft due to the elitist nature of most of the linux users I encountered 12 years ago just trying to get started.
I didn't see any change that air of nonsense attitude in the years after that either.

But after seeing this Vista license nonsense hold my PC hostage for a faulty hardware replacement.........
It may be worth my time to wade through the nonsense.
MS made a really bad decision with the way they have setup this license program.
Period.

Dunno, I think I have met one person I would consider an elitist and even he
actually helps out...just does it in his elitist type of way.

But everyone else seems to be very nice and they have helped me a lot. Then
again, I do know how to phrase my questions better than Harry.

But after seeing this Vista license nonsense hold my PC hostage for a
faulty hardware replacement......... It may be worth my time to wade
through the nonsense. MS made a really bad decision with the way they have

That's what made me do the switch. An EULA I cannot agree with and so
called "features" I don't want. I have to tell ya, the only regret I have
is that I haven't done so a long time ago and that I can' entirely
eliminate windows yet.

More evidence that MS's buggy DRM does nothing to stop piracy and only
inconveniences the paying customer!

It's evidence that it's inconveniencing paying customers but this is not
evidence of it not stopping piracy.

LOL! Good one, Justin. Vista was posted on the Net long before it was
released. Ignorance is bliss I guess. Where have you been, hiding in a
Toy Factory?

Vigilante's experience is not evidence. Damn, you are truly the stupidest
person I've ever come across.

Why must everything be explained to you like a child?

Get a brain will you! Learn to READ!!!!

Well how about this.

If I wanted a pirated copy of Vista, I could have one within about 5 mouse
clicks right now.

So tell me again how effective MS' anti piracy measures are =)

I wasn't using anything Vigilante said as evidence. My proof are the
myriad of web sites where one could download a cracked, no activation
needed, copy of Vista before it was released.

It doesn't.

Yeah well, while you spout your usual BS I'll continue a normal

Absolutely! I'm not saying it hasn't been circumvented. MS shot themselves
in the foot with the OEM activation routine. However, people that WANT to
be legal and where sold illegal licenses do eventually find out and seek to
become legal. That's one example.

Right. The stopping piracy part is self evident, IMHO.

Lean something from Justin? Normal conversation?

Yea sure, mimic Justin and learn how to:

1. be stubborn, pigheaded and obnoxious
2. never admit you're wrong, no matter what
3. lie, fib, stretch the truth, take things out of context
4. spread rumors, act superior, fly off the handle
5. make up stories, change your stories, deny you said things
6. have temper tantrums non stop
7. claim to be all knowing
8. show hatred, bias, bigotry and make racial slurs
9. call people stupid, fake trying to pass yourself off as smarter
10. label everybody that don't agree with you a troll
