Comparison Mac OS X vs Windows

quote: i do not believe this for a second. It seems you have no experience with windows XP, let alone any of the other OSs you deride completely out of hand. If you can indeed remove IE using windows, then why are Microsoft busy spending a lot of time and money in court trying to convince the US government that this is in fact impossible?
moron.

You are indeed a true idiot. I guess I must guide you with baby steps through the process, and it is obvious you have never even tried XP; instead, you lie in your cold room and tweak your 486 so it can run in a bare text shell of UNIX.
Press "Start"
Press "Settings"
Press "Control Panel"
Press "Add/Remove Programs"
Press "Add/Remove Windows Components"
Uncheck Internet Explorer.
Wow, was that SO hard? Apparently so.
:confused:
Heru:
Cocaine, if what you say is true, then why does MS claim to the US government that IE can't be removed?!?! Answer this please. Why would MS say this to the DOJ if it can infact be done?
gothwer:
Then how come I just did remove it? Huh?
And when was this said by Microsoft? BEFORE Xp was released I'm betting. And BEFORE Xp, you COULDN'T remove IE without strenuous hacking.
Blah.
Edit: I would like to see the exact quote from MS saying you can't remove IE. And also when this was said, if you can dig that up.

Actually they were recently battling it out in court. Only about a month ago actually.
Do you by chance have the beta of SP1? It's the only thing I can think of that might let you do that.
gothwer:
Whats SP1? :D
No, I just removed it with the add/remove windows components thingie.
quote:Complete lockup, blue screen of death (Windows), other situations resulting in computer non-responsiveness. Crashes or problems so severe that the only way to recover was to turn off the power and turn it back on.
Performance seriously compromised, reboot required to restore normal functionality. Severe crashes, but ones which allowed restarting using normal methods.
Performance impaired, able to continue working in some form, but reboot advisable. Crashes, but crashes which allow some sort of continued use of the computer.
Other anomalies. Misc. problems, oddities, and other things that make you say, "Huh?" Reboot not required, perhaps not even beneficial.
Discretionary reboots. Usually, restarts required as a result of installing software, updates, or changing settings.

Weird, I've had this since Christmas and not yet have I see a blue screen, or any bugs at all. I'm going to leave this comp on, and see if it actually locks up/reboots/yada.
Edit:
WMP, however, was not under the list. :mad:
But it doesn't really matter, a quick download of Winamp fixes that.
PS. I think Calum may pop a blood vessel. His rant shows much anger in him.
