All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software

Are you a computer Moron?

I agree 100% Bill gates is Satan and his software is full of spyware. I also know Linux is open source and runs most of the webservers on the net.


Where I disagree with many of you is that you have to badmouth MS for crashing and not working and in general sucking ass when it's just not true.

I run 6 computers on my desk with a KVM switch 24/7  All but one of them are Microsoft products. They run for months at a time without crashing. I edit audio and video, I do graphical manipulation with very large files, I scan the web for interesting things and my computers do not crash.

I install millions of programs, I delete millions of programs I surf thousands of websites and still my computers do not crash.

The features and resource hogs that ship by default from MS I turn off. My slowest machine is an old 300A Celeron that has been overclocked to 450 MHZ for 5 years, My fastest is a dual 500 with a raid 5 setup running W2k Advanced Server.

Why are you having so many problems with Microsofts products? I don't.

Other than Bill Gates trying to rule the world and spyware I have no problem with MS Products.

Maybe it's just that you are computer morons and don't know enough about MS products to run them properly :)

Seriously, why does my Windows work and yours dont?

Because you have a Satanic pact with Bill Gates?

Now to actually comment...

Look, everyone knows w2k/xp doesn't generally crash a lot; nobody is going to argue with you there.  The reason people say it sucks is because so what if it doesn't crash as much as Win 9x?  *Nothing* should crash that much as it is.  People see Linux as a better solution because not only does it not crash but it comes with hundreds of applications for free and it fits well with many people's philosophy.  I use Windows XP and Linux, and really I don't see a ton of things XP does that I'm not able to do in Linux.  I can play all my games in both OSes (except Morrowind, but oh well)  and sometimes it's nice to surf the internet and do email without the slightest fear of getting a virus. (My friend uses XP and sometimes gets thousands of Nimda viruses every day - and he has Norton too)  My brother had a trojan in his machine that must have come from some crack he downloaded of Kazaa (which is full of such shit) and Norton didn't detect it until  he manually scanned the file out of suspicion a few days later.  (He got suspicous because the windows task manager had two instances of "Microsoft Windows" running with the unibomber for the icon.  Ouch!)  And sure, the XP interface is nice and I really can't ask for much more, but Linux's isn't so bad either, especially RH8.

You say you have 5 computers all running Microsoft software, and one is advanced server.  What does that come to, 2000 dollars or something for the software alone?  Really, I'm not sure how smart a person can be if they choose to shell out that kind of money for a Windows server.  And if you pirated it, well, that just tells me you think MS's products are too crappy to pay for.

Actually I'm a network administrator and my company  has 600+ licensed copies of MS products. As one of the IT guys I don't have a problem running MS products at home to learn to be a better network admin. I guess you could call it pirating but I prefer to call it training for work.

Again I did not say a single bad thing about any other OS. I agree Microsoft has evil built in but the OS itself is stable and does everything most people need it to.

If people need to badmouth MS do it for the real reason of Spyware and closed source. Don't bash it for crashing and being a crappy OS. It's just not true. Win 98 did crash every now and then but It's not 1988 any longer. MS corrected it's crashing problems.

If you want to compare Linux to Win 98 make sure you use a version of Linux from 1988.

And I have to say Linux in 1988 was not a user friendly system for begginers. I had to try 4 distros in 1988 before I found one that would work on my computer.

I just installed Mandrake 9.0 on this computer 5 minutes ago and I like it so far but I can't compare it to win 98 because as I said win 98 was made almost 5 years ago when a P233 was the fastest processor on the market.

Your company is the reason why Bill Gates is so rich
