All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
Fanboys?
Mysterio:
Yeah, I like to call them "Stupid fucks", but that's me. As for Winblows? Sure, I use it. But I didn't pay for it. Same with IE, (since Netscape sucks ass) which I got for free. It isn't a huge deal to have FREE MS stuff. I don't pay for this shitty software, I get it for free. I'm not supporting "Hitler Jr." nor do I like Microfuck, it's just easy free shit that I can get my hands on.

Hiya guys, Im new here and I have to say a few things to get started off on the wrong foot ;)
Sure, I hate MS. I dont like how they add a whole bunch of usless crap to thier OS, I dont like how they try and trick you into getting the newest OS by saying they arent going to support the older ones. I dont like how MS forces you to buy upgrades as a new OS.
But you gotta admit, it is the best thing running right now. Ive used Linux and Unix. Sure the way it was designed is better, but there is nothing I need that runs on them. Netscape sucks bigtime, the configuration isnt easy, or even possible to someone who doesnt want to learn computing, and while I am sure that the others are quite stable and great for networking, they cant compare to my stripped down version of Win98.
I dont want, nor need to learn every thing about an OS to use it. Do you know everything about your TV? I use my PC at home for recreation, and there is no other OS that can provide it as well as Windows. I dont think Bill Gates is a jerk. He has worked very hard to get where he is. How would you like it if someone came along and wanted to take what you have built and break it up due to the complaints of inferior compitition?
There is no serious compition for Microsoft, and that is why everyone uses it. While Linux is trying, I dont believe it will ever be as popular as Windows cuz there is no serious attempt at making it that way. Netscape started it all, but lost it due to bad Corp. management. It is not my problem if no one offers me a better product.
My FuckMicrosoft comes when I install and then have to remove .megs of usless info to make it run better. But, its still the best out there...
I recieved a new copy of XP from a friend who I fixed a PC for, and have played with it over the last 3mo. I will be removing it soon. XP gotta be the most worthless OS it has been my displeasure to try. After countless hours of tweaking the OS, it still runs slow. File execution just doesnt have it. Its boot speed is fantastic, and its got to be the best looking OS ever made, put it just doesnt perform. Back to my install of Win98 First Edition. Under 300megs and runs fast as hell!
My suggestion is for the BB to put up a tweak forum to make the Win OS run better instaed of ones that just cry about it. Id be happy to help out, and soon many of you would be saying Win aint that bad.....

I think some of you are on drugs. First, load up linux on your machines before you start crying about winblows. I personally like my winx box, but i don't like people looking at my stuff. I also like having full control of my computer, which winx doesn't allow you like linux does. But I don't sit at my desk typing an email on a winblows machine and at the same time, grutting out that it sucks. change OSs!!! Oh yeah, i almost forgot, real smart posting on the web about free win products. real nice.. really..

The problem most people here have with Microsoft is not their software, but their business practices. Understand?
True, their business practices lead them to release a lot of bad software, but it isn't because they can't release good software, it's to keep people begging for bug fixes and upgrades.
Microsoft have a strong commitment to stopping people using operating systems other than their own, they create file formats that are supposed to only be usable by M$ programs, and they send lawyers to hunt down other software companies. They also release inconsistent and outdated versions of other vendors' free plugins et cetera to defame those vendors' reputations.

Well its interesting' but not exactly true.
All major airports use Unix, may buisneses use Unix to run thier mechinary. these are thinkgs that MS cannot do as well, and arent even trying to do.
As far as the relese of unfinished software, everyone does that. Electronic Arts and Motor City Online, Blizzard and any of the Battle.net games. These are just two examples. If unfinished software was held till it was done, then no software would be released.
M$ file types? C'mon. I cant read any Linux file types on my Win OS, then arent they doing the same? MS designs files for MS. This isnt air. It is a product. MS has the right to protect thier interests as much as you do when you build a fence around your property. And methinks Microsoft doesnt have to worry about making sure everyone uses thier software. Other companys are doing a good enough job at that them selves.
Look at Redhat, Mandrake, and other Linux products sold in stores. Arent they re releasing anothers software under thier own name for a profit?
Security holes? Why is MS so buggy and Linux isnt? Cuz more people use MS products. Period. there are just as many holes in Linux. Some one will find a way. but why bother when only 2% of PC users use Linux? This will increase when Linux becomes more popular.
P.S. Fuck you too ;)

What other OS would they use otherwise. Only macs can run that OS. And Linux would give any newbie a headache.

I have just recently istalled Mandrake and when I first took a peek at the "star menu" I found several browsers, text editors, mail programs and oh so much more. I'd call having 5 browsers useless crap.
And as a end note. There are many of you who justify stealing micosoft software by saying "you don't want to support the axis of evil" and a good bit more B.S. If ur gonna steal software, at least have the grace to admit ur stealing software.
