Windows Sucks

[adiment]

I use windows and works fine for me. The what's so bad article is outdated! Talks about "bloat" I see bloat in every linux distro I've tried. With the right security (Firefox, Spybot, Adaware) windows if fine for a gamer.

I'm still planning to run linux or bsd once I get enough money for a new HDD.

 Use what works, I say.

Windows works for me, I use it, it's fine.

I like bitching about MS. That's why I'm here...
And then again, in two months, my contact with XP will be over - for ever!

Hellz yea!! See people this is the kind of attitude that could change the world. Were all smart people here, who needs windows. Windoze is an insult to the intelligence of a drunk mentally disbaled squirrel. I switched back to UNIX permanatly a couple monthes ago and havent used crapdows since, and I never will again. You should do the same.

ps. fuck bill gates the chronic donkey dick sucker

you people are so stupid all you do is sit around a complain about microsoft are there any other operating systems more used why because it is the best easiest for most people and you are just to lazy to go work and make a better one and create a monopoly yourself until you do that you cant complain you are just jeoulous you couldnt think to create a monopoly and make billions of dollars yourself

well im sick of you your not my friend anymore because you stole my bmx and kissed my girlfriend in the trees while i was waiting for the bus which was late and i came home and mother gave me a spanking which is all your fault because you couldnt think to steal a car and pick me up so then we could get to school on time and learn how to write a proper sentance

That's one thing that really sucks about Windows - having to use 3rd party software just to run the operating system.

And to set things straight: the only reason I am using XP in the first place is that I live with my aunt&uncle in Canada, and they wouldn't let me upgrade their machine. It's sooo slow.
At least I don't use other MS crap. Installed Firefox, Thunderbird, OO.org and Exodus...

Hey, if you have a $20 on ya, I'll send a 20-gig to your post office in your name.  $1/gig ain't half-bad on a Quantum Fireball, ya know.  Just get in contact with me on an IM service.  :cool:

Orethrius will trade straight-up for that, e7ement.  If you can find it.

You neophyte!  I do not like your signature banner, please remove it because I say that Linux does not suck, and I am god, therefore everything I say goes.

I can't quite read what Firefox is Saying. He seems to be giving MS hate a bad name.

Both Winblows and Linux take a lot of knowledge to use and configure effectively. The difference between them is that Windoze can be used anyway but it will work like a piece of shit that's begging to get filled with virii and all kinds of shitware. Then you need to install patches over a patch to a patch all the time and use 3rd party software to keep your system clean because the needed stuff isn't there out of the box or sucks.

I'd say I know how to keep Winblows clean but the average user doesn't. I tried to help a friend today with her computer via IRC. She told me she had virus problems and IE would stop working after the computer has been running for some time. It turned out the firewall wasn't blocking it -- or at least the settings suggested so -- so who knows. It's IE. I told her to dump that shit and install Firefox. I feel pissed for the less computer literate people who have to put up with Winbloze. I won't even start about its stability. Fucking BSODs is all it can do for me so I as I reinstalled Windoze I also installed Linux and use it more and more. The number of things I can only do on Winbloze get fewer by the day as I figure out stuff. Looking at the default config, I can only wonder how the average user can keep his Windose system from falling apart.

By the way, since I reinstalled Windoze and installed SP2 on it, it BSODs even more now than with the three-year old install. It's hardly usable. Great patch.

This annoys me too, Microsoft say their OS is supposed to be easy to use but it won't be unless they should include a decent anti-virus and firewall with the default configuration.

[muzzy]

I've never ran anti-virus on my system, and I don't use a firewall. Plus, I use IE for web browsing. So, I've configured stuff a little, but how come I've never gotten any of these viruses you speak of?

I have no idea what you guys are doing to break your systems, other than intentionally installing malware (or being tricked by exes that have folder icons or other silly stuff). I installed my current w2k installation in 2000, and it's still working. Nearly five year old installation, and stuff still works great. I can only conclude that either you guys have bad hardware, or the difference is in the user.

Oh, and regarding third party software. I suspect you guys mainly use non-GNU software too. Your web browser, your mail client, your chat clients, text editors, etc... They're all from outside of the GNU project, third party software.

I didn't say I had viruses, I've never had one manage to get loose in my system. I said my computer illiterate friend has. You can configure your system to keep it clean. Good for you. Not everyone knows how to.

And my bad hardware seems to run Linux just fine. I have read the other topic too, so I guess you'll say it's the crappy Windows drivers for the HW. Might be. The only drivers I have installed myself (ie. not automatically by Windows) are the video, sound and network card. I have no idea if these are the cause, and I don't really care what's to blame unless it's me and I can't fix it. My point being, Windows doesn't work, while Linux does.

As for the third party software: Yes, I use a lot of 3rd party software on Linux. I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem with buying more software just to compensate the flaws in Windows.  I suppose you can run Windows without them as you said, but if I have to choose between a system that just about stays safe with constant patching and another that stays clean with very little work (and free apps)...

Yes, I know there are free firewalls for Windows but the free antivirus apps just don't cut it, in my opinion.
