Windoze is not so baaad

Ron:
Just thought I should pass on this heartening article I chanced upon following a conference call  with my accounting department and our automation access/IT support crew.
I realise it's a lot of big words and not many pictures so it might not interest anyone, but in my exam, I was asked to summarise the page . After I cut out all the extraneous shite, I was left with

"Microsoft $ucks"

And why has no-one launched a class action against M$ for selling slow,buggy,bloated,vulnerable products under false pretences? Having seen several re-runs of LA Law, each admission of failure (bugfix/security patch) should result in lawsuits galore. There was some US car (Pinto or summat) that Ford (I Think) released knowing that if you indicated left while braking and were hit from behind, your car exploded (or something like that) and because they let it be sold, they were fined loadsamoney in punitive damages. And you never hear about product recalls and 'modifications' other than on the net. Well, Bill, we aren't all on the bloody dubyadubyadubya.

I think 98 was good. I like the fact that it ran from the command prompt, so it's the most modern winfuck OS with the least bloat. It does crash a lot, but I've gotten used to that, as my modem doesn't work in Linux and I don't know how to configure dial up anyway.

If Linus had chosen to make a clone of DOS rather than UNIX, we'd probably not be using Windows anymore.

DukePuke:
Refalm, Windoze software is crap? Maybe Linux software is crap? Windoze2k as OS maybe is not ideal, but comercial softdevelopers do job well with their own products. I am not fan of linuxoze, but then i tryed some office/misc programs, that looked like that it was created by 1-3 fans, who had too much time in their hands. Most linux programs are CRAP! Becuz its basicaly free, and its created by individual programers. Programers is programers, they are not fuckin designers, they are not fuckin comercial managers, they are not fuckin scientists , they just write code

Pyrotechnician_2004:
Excuse me, you've only used 2 types of program, linux is very useful, try searching on Sourceforge for any type of program, i'll bet you'll find something.

You are very narrow-minded Mr., most Windows programs have problems because they are ONLY made by Microsoft programmers/coders, if the source code was available in Windows it might've been a better OS that I might have stayed with it.

But considering Bill Gates just wants money, and doesn't care much about what the MS community want from their OS, this will continue to go on.

To be honest, i'd like to put the following question to you :

What would you rather have :
1. An OS that is stable & free and has loads of programs that may not work as well as Windows, but the bugs get fixed very quickly?

OR

2. An OS that has annoying pop-ups, virtually no technical support, limited usages of programs, no source-code, no skill ed programmers/coders & countless crashes/BSoD's?
