He is loopy, but not on this particular issue.

I read about it over at Newsforge.  Some possible implications are a loss in MS's market share, and a possible opening up of MS Office formats.

yeah it was loopy of him to suggest saftey standards on automobiles...thats just wacky.

Ralph is anything but a loon.  Consumers are a vital component of the economy and they have little or no loby in parlement/congress, unlike big corperations.

He's the reason George Bush is the president.  The only people who voted for him were stoned beatnicks who wanted to legalize marijuana.

this post is just plain deranged. I won't comment further, your words really do speak for themselves. In future though, user, you should double space your posts since there is so much written between the lines.

User (oh the implications): As mentioned earlier, your post really isn't worth responding to. However, you must know this: Narrow-minded comments akin to yours does nothing to further your crusade to convert all computer users to Windows. If anything it gives us yet another reason to stay (far) away from anything M$ for fear of being associated with the likes of you and yours.

As for Nader: IMO he's perceived as a loon because a number of his ideas oppose the status quo which is something a lot big businesses (ie M$) are trying very hard to protect and foster. I'm not saying I agree with everything he does/says, but he's more right (grammer?) in a lot of ways than most of the US leaders of recent past.

User: BTW I must know why you feel so compelled to promote Windows over any other platform or M$ over any other OS/software developer.

I'll let you answer before I perform a clinical analysis on your tortured psyche. And let me preempt this by thanking you for taking part in my experiment.

Cheers

he won't answer. I've been asking him what his motivation is ever since he got here. So far he has posted about 50 posts full of inflammatory rubbish which have in turn generated 300 - 400 angry responses, all of which clog up the forums for those people who are trying to actually talk about stuff. From now on i will be following XP User around and deleting any posts that do not have relevance. I will, however be leaving any that have any substance, or, unfortunately, that people have replied to. If people reply to him, then it just justifies his dumbass antics.

I bet following XP Luser around feels much like those dog owners who have to follow their dogs around with pooper scoopers. So hopefully you have a very large pooper scooper.

Perhaps it's some good old greenbacks comming from a company with whom he would rather not say he is affiliated.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have found the trillionth easily preventable bug in a Microsoft OS.  You have just won the privlage of being frustrated with an over priced, unreliable OS that makes you conform to its standards.  How does that make you feel?
