Windows Sucks

I've never setup a printer/scanner before, but I would've thought it'd be install the printer *then* install the scanner (or vica versa). Not like an all in one thing (maybe it is).

If you're using the manufacturer gfx card drivers.. I've never had any problems with them. But I don't use them any more (non-free, plus I don't play games and son't need them).
What gfx card do you have?

Winmodems were designed for Windows (as was most of the other hardware too I suppose).

I have no idea about the backward-compatible thing.

Free manufacturer drivers... I wish.
3dfx used to have open-source drivers, dunno if they were proper(GNU)-free tho.

If you can't keep windows XP stable, you are doing something wrong. I leave the machine on all the time. I rarely turn it off for the weekend. It has yet to give me any problems. If it is so bad, shouldn't I have blue screened by now? Shouldn't it have locked up a few dozen times already today?

No because your drivers are CLASS!
Blame the drivers when it's unstable. Blame them when it's stable :thumbup:

Blame Windows too?

I am failing to see the problem with Windows. Does anyone have a good reason to not use it. When I am selecting new machines for new employees, why would I not choose windows as the os? Why would I choose Linux? Because it's free? That is hardly a good reason. I happily pay for the upgrades to my software. Money isn't an issue. Stability? Of all the machines at the office right now, one was giving us problems, and that has been resolved. Our office is stable. No problems there. Secure? Yeah, it sure does have problems there. However, we haven't been hacked or compromsied. Our shop is a nice blend of *nix and windows. Everything runs smoothly.

Is it a feeling of moral superiority? You are just "better" because you can get by without giving into the "man"?

None of that fucking bullshite.

Anyhow, Windows is going well for you. I've a feeling I'll not be fit to convert you to the rightous side but what the hell.

How about this: You don't give a shit about money. Do you give a shit about where your money goes to? It goes to Microsoft, one big fat ugly monopoly. We all know monopolies are bad, evil fuckers. ESPECIALLY Microsoft.
And it's YOU who's funding them! YOU EVIL-... Let's not go there.
No wonder the evil bastards have been alive for so long, and their still standing strong because of YOU!

Either accept responsability for the evil MS, or stop funding the evil bastards.
That's as low as I can go :thumbup:


* sits and waits...
