Well there is no reason to hate lol

I don't agree with Microsoft's unethical practices and their overpriced software but I wouldn't go as far as to say I hate them.  Bill Gates is a multi billionaire and the people who work for Microsoft aren't doing too badly either.  I doubt they are losing any sleep over the fact that some people out there don't like them and their products.  So why waste the emotional energy?

Some people are just unlucky when it comes to crashes and Blue Screens.  If someone is getting blue screens from just notepad then something is seriously wrong with their setup.  I'm a gamer so I run Windows ME and I've only seen 2 blue screens since I installed it months ago  and on both occassions it was down to badly written device drivers. Replaced them and no more blue screens.  So it's not always the OS itself that is at fault.  I've seen apps crash a few times under my Slackware install, granted they don't bring the whole OS to a halt but still.

The guy who set up that site is just exercising his right to free speech  just like this site.  Sending him hate mail ain't gonna change his opinions and depending on how you worded it could actually land YOU in trouble.

true, dont waste your time trying to convert. just gather strength from your fellow anti-M$ers. some people will eventually come around while others will always remain blind to microsofts follys.

Hey, welcome  

I would say yes to hating microsoft, because of they pretend to be the 'great innovator' and are so hypocrit ... (bad spelling - i know) i think the proof that even m$ hasn't reached its lowest level with its smeary tricks is the windows xp wpa.

(http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=000318)

Most (ignorant) windows users always think it is the user that makes the OS crash. True, but crappy code can sure get you a BSOD faster than the better versions ...
I think if someone would say that crashing OS is mostly the user's fault, well, exor, you're right about the hardware part. If you go f*** around with hardware, like my crappy 6 speed cd-rom drive, as soon as the drive gets an i/o error (wich happens alot) windows just halts as long as the drive is confused. If i can't get my drive to open again, my windows just crashed.
If you are smart (and rich) and buy a cdrom-drive that doesn't have i/o errors on 90% of all cd's, you shouldn't have much problems with windows ... on the other hand, linux simply reports 'i/o error' and goes on happily ...

f00bar

i hate the fucking windows xp wpa too. , i just heard the microsoft  is planning to put some protection crap the would  check to see if your key code  the comes with the cd is pirate . if it is you going to have to contact microsoft. i read the shit on this site windowsxp.nu << i say again i dislike this site.

[voidmain]

You are perfectly welcome to "hate" Microsoft. I do.  But I hate their crappy software even more than I hate them.

[eradicator]

i don't hate microsoft, but i can say i don't like them and their products that much.

windows in my eyes is just an "okay" product. i would use it if i HAD to, but.. i don't have to

IMO, microsofts best products happen to be internet explorer and ircx, i don't really care for anything else.

remembers kids: no company is perfect.

I do hate M$ bacause they are an *EviL* monopoly that uses *EviL* tactics including lying, breaking copyright laws (you know the same laws that are now trying to enforce), using under-the-table-money to drive competition from the marketplace, and trying to force people to pay rediculous sums of money for inferior software, and secretly spying on ignorant software users.  M$ has broken the law on many occasions, thats why they are in court.  But the law dosn't apply to the rich in the US, so I wouldn't be surprised if they got off free.  Notice that there are people out there who actually support M$.

Hating M$ is a good thing.

I hate MS for all these good reasons, but more for greedy personal reasons. It has to do with them being exceedingly rich, yet they don't offer their "Dark side" followers the software quality perks that should come from following an empire that is incredibly rich(such as ultra reliable, ultra fast, ultra compatible software etc.).

I would have to seriously question being part of the MS movement(well im a fence sitter to a certain extent) if Wind0ze was every bit as good as Linux, and the only reason to use Linux was for moral reasons. Luckily that is not an issue.  

[sporkme]

I hear this argument about unstable drivers, and at times you hear it so often that it makes sense, Oh wait! then you start to think...What drivers make windows unstable!?

The generic mouse driver? from Win98?
The SBlaster driver?
The MS Sidewinder driver? (Oh, not that one)
The Iomega zip drivers?
The Nvidia drivers? (we're screwed if it's this one)

What fucking drivers are to blame when Word 2000 crashes when I try to open a *.doc file?

What drivers does Internet Explorer use so I can change them?

I'm being sarcastic of course! But come on! Are you telling me that a little itty bitty *.dll or *.vxd can bring a Big Ol OS to it's knees?

That is Bullshit! At least in Linux, if a program bites it, then you can say it's a shitty program. And the kernel could care less.  Your os is still up and running and you can install any other handy program that does the same thing, and is more stable.

Done, had to say it

[heylee]

Dude...Microshit sucks ass.   :rolleyes:   I am tired of stupid programs not working, blue screens, viruses, memory usage, etc. The only thing I need Winblows for is for games and some of my graphic programs. Everything else, I can do on linux. I can't stand microcock, they have to stick their nose into everything...buying the rights to games, having to make new OS versions every few years, and now the Xcocks. Well, at least the PS2 has a linux kit! Fiance is RHCE and thats where I decided to play with linux, too bad I didn't know about this long ago heh.

yes. it's all those drivers.

good fucking point? what fucking drivers are they? word still crashes, so something must be making it do it... either it's the drivers or... IT'S THE FUCKING SHITTY OPERATING SYSTEM!!!! OH MY GODS!!! WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT BEFORE!!!! (et c)

Que?

oh right.... not so sarcastic as you might think i suspect.

firstly yes. That has happened to me on MANY MANY occasions. It requires a reinstall. The dlls are fucking a pain in the arse but if it's a VxD then forget it. Reinstall or bust. What sort of "system" "works" in this ridiculously top heavy way? plus it puts all its dlls and VdX files in one place! for ease of accidental overwriting methinks...

Suck it. It's the truth.  

quote:At least in Linux, if a program bites it, then you can say it's a shitty program.

bollocks! it MAY WELL be config info! if somebody else is running that program fine then how can you say it's fucked? there's no getting around it, it either compiled fucked, or it has fucked entries in it's config files!  

quote:And the kernel could care less.  Your os is still up and running and you can install any other handy program that does the same thing, and is more stable.

yes. this much is true, but hey i think you give windows the benefit of the dount far too much here. nevermind, you'll learn!
