Vista? Anyone go back to XP?

[Adam Albright]

Only one known idiot has gone back to using XP after he was totally
confused by Vista.

Hey Frankie, you know this is fact because:

a. The voices in your head said so?
b. A little birdie told you?
c. You read it in tea leaves?
d. You have a crystal ball?
e. You just made it up?

All the rest of us, (billions & billions of Vista users) will never go
back to XP and we know for a fact, that linux is just a toy POS os.
Frank

Just listen to this psycho babble on and on. Billions and billions of
copies of Vista users?

The truth is OF COURSE people have tried Vista and not liked it or
found it didn't meet their needs. How many? Nobody knows. Should you
get Vista? Only you can decide. Generally IF you buying a new machine
with Vista pre installed it makes sense to get Vista if only it is the
latest version of Windows and is the future and what Microsoft will
focus on until the next "better" version of Windows. Like all new
versions of Windows Vista is ripe with all kinds of bugs and won't be
totally stable until after SP1 gets released late in the 4Q or early
in 1Q next year.

Q. "Anyone use Vista and gone back to XP?"

A. Not very many.

Q. "Anyone gone to Vista and would never go back?"

A. Yes, there are now over 60 million very satisfied Vista users.

Hi, Carey
Where do you get this 'over 60 million very satisfied Vista users' info.
I'd like the URL for reference. And why is the first answer, 'Not very
many', so non-specific? To some this might mean under 500, and to others it
might mean under 500 million.

My, the young man thinks that he can out debate me with insults. How
mature and convincing.

Still pimping that OS?
Its soo funny.
LOL
How long ago were you fired from Microsoft?
Or did you fall on your face during the interview?
Too bad you can't hold your breath for as long as you can hold a grudge!
hehe

 

[Alias]

I have no need to "out debate you", whatever you think that means, and I
have yet to insult you and I am unlikely to.

First you say I'm crazy and now you're saying "Disregard anything alias
says as he frequently gets it wrong." Of course you have yet to prove me
wrong but what else is new?

The only insults have been from you, which is much as expected from
someone who has lost and doesn't know when to stop.

What insults? Lost the "debate"?

 

[mayayana]

How in the he!! do you know that?

That's Microsoft-speak. English translation:

"Yes, indeed. At this point in time we have contracted
to sell 60 million Vista licenses to OEM builders."

Microsoft reports licenses sold, which includes pre-orders
from OEMs and in the case of Vista could very well
include fire-sale contracts for long-term pre-orders. There's
no way to tell, since MS doesn't break it down. Microsoft's
total sales numbers would also presumably include all "Software
Assurance" customers who are in a 3-year contract to
buy whatever MS produces. Even if those companies don't
want Vista, they've paid for it.

As some have pointed out before, MS could provide an
accurate report of copies sold by reporting actual activations.
But they refuse to disclose those numbers, or at any rate
haven't done so so far. ... And of course, as you point out,
"satisfied customers" would still be an entirely different number
altogether.

If you think I have insulted you then it is only because you have poor
comprehension skills.. this may explain why you get things wrong so
frequently.. I can only advise that you stop talking and listen more
carefully so you don't make a fool of yourself.

What insults? Lost the "debate"?

You can use Goog... no I take that back you probably can't understand the
results.

 

[Alias]

Still pimping that OS?

That's impossible.

Its soo funny.
LOL

You have a weird sense of humor.

How long ago were you fired from Microsoft?

Huh? I never worked for them and never will.

Or did you fall on your face during the interview?

My, a lie. How unusual from you.

Too bad you can't hold your breath for as long as you can hold a grudge!
hehe

What grudge? Do you always make up things as you go along when you're
soundly refuted? Trying to be like Frank, are you?

 

[Alias]

If you think I have insulted you then it is only because you have poor
comprehension skills..

My, another insult. This man does it so naturally he isn't even aware
that he does it.

this may explain why you get things wrong so
frequently.. I can only advise that you stop talking and listen more
carefully so you don't make a fool of yourself.

So, now you think I am a fool. Got any more?

You can use Goog... no I take that back you probably can't understand
the results.

I thought you would have more. Now you're saying I'm can't understand
Google results.

You apparently have some need to attempt to discredit Alias. Why? If
you're trying to project yourself as a reasoned debater you've fallen
flat on your face which is obvious to everyone. I guess you must be a
student in the Frankie Numbnuts school of stupidity. Yo seem to think
the more you lie, rant and scream the more creditability you'll have.

You have provided the evidence.

Let me give YOU the same advice Bozo! <snicker>

I'll never understand why fanboys have some deep seated need to try to
defend Microsoft all the while ignoring facts.

Back to Frank again I see.

Soundly refuted?
Pimping ubuntu isnt refuting anything.
How 'bout the tons of people emailing you about getting started with ubuntu?
Doesn't say much for them...they either cant click on the ubuntu links you
trail behind you like bread crumbs.
Or they haven't mastered Google.
Keep at it though, Ubuntu Pimp...aka Alias

How in the he!! do you know that?


How in the he!! do you know that?

There very well may be over 60 million Vista users-
but, you have no way of ascertaining their satisfaction.


-Michael

The only logical conclusion for the typical fanboy (many MVPs) being
fanatical zealots for Microsoft is either they truly are crazy or just
plain stupid. For some, probably both. <snicker>

 

[Adam Albright]

Back to Frank again I see.

As long as Frank injects himself as newsgroup clown in nearly every
thread I'll go right on pointing out what a nut case and pathological
liar he is for the benefit of those new to the group that as yet don't
know what a mental case Frank is.

Why do you go on supporting this obvious psycho?

As long as you do, I'll also point out what a blowhard YOU are.

I have never supported Frank. Show me one post where I have said Frank is
correct about anything.
Please Insert Here:


This is only in your mind.

* Charlie Tame:



Charlie,

As our beloved Craig over at Securecomp would so eloquently put it-
Frank is an idiot.

P.S.
You and I are going to have to have a word of prayer if you keep
replying to that fat goober. ;-)


-Michael

Hey charlie and michale...my post way so far over the top that I though
it would be quite clear that it was said tongue-in-cheek.
I guess it went right over your heads and but squarely hit that big
button both of you seem now to be wearing that says "push me"!

Get a life adam, you've turned into a pathetic wannabe loser.

[Frank]

Oh... another Frankie. First Dennis lies he called Alias "crazy" then
tries to tap dance his way out of his lie, now this. You ARE leaving
little doubt you're just another psycho. They have a habit of
stumbling into this newsgroup it seems.

Damn, that button on your pointy head that says "push me" sure is
getting a workout!
You get your button from alias, cause he's wearing one just like it?
