Say 'no' to Vista

[x1a4]

http://badvista.fsf.org/

“Vista is an upsell masquerading as an upgrade. It is an overall
regression when you look at the most important aspect of owning and
using a computer: your control over what it does. Obviously MS Windows
is already proprietary and very restrictive, and *well worth rejecting*.
But the new *'features' in Vista are a Trojan Horse* to smuggle in even
more restrictions. We'll be focusing attention on detailing how they
work, how to resist them, and why people should careâ€,

I've met these types before...they know computers to be sure, but their own
insecurities make belching such drivel a bore and nuisance. Instead of
using flowery words like "Whilst" (its just not in the American vernacular,
no offense to our friends in the UK), please just give concrete evidence
that shows where MS is doing something other than protecting what is theirs.
If they are watching, please show us tests that prove this (traces). Show
us the network traffic that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt (i.e.: would
hold up in court) that they are doing something wrong.

No offense to anyone but I need more than just conjecture here, I want to
see solid (emphasis on solid) proof of wrong doing. And its a free market
out there. If it is really that bad, the marketplace and consumer will take
care of itself in time.

You mean you hope not.

x1a4,

Sincerely, what is your true intended purpose repeatedly demonstrating your
more than too obvious deficient academic skill?

Or, are you merely envious that Windows Vista is our Worlds most Secure and
most advanced Ultimate state-of-the-art Operating System?

Appears the true masquerading is within your poorly authored statements; in
great need for improving syntax, grammar, and language rules never abused by
an authentic writer.

x1a4,

First insult:

Sincerely, what is your true intended purpose repeatedly demonstrating your
more than too obvious deficient academic skill?

A lie:

Or, are you merely envious that Windows Vista is our Worlds most Secure and
most advanced Ultimate state-of-the-art Operating System?

You *are* joking, right?

More insults:

great need for improving syntax, grammar, and language rules never abused by
an authentic writer.

Why is it that the MS fanbois have to resort to insults when their
precious Vista is attacked?

This is not a forum for personal attacks. If you wish to debate Vista, then
do not attack those who you debate with, or else go somewhere else.
