That's not very nice for homosexuals or females. I am not gay, but still...

For that matter, comparing Windows to anyone is an insult.

Sorry, I wasn't being serious, I'm just bord of "Windows sucks" posts, it was funny when I first joined but its no longer a joke. We all know that Windows sucks, we've heard it 1000 times before.

Edit:
When I end a post with

, its not mant to be taken too seriously

At least some people have a sense of humour.

I have to say that was one of the few things that made me laugh hard.

Nice one.

No, bring that down to about 6 weeks and you'd have a realistic time. :rolleyes:

Hey Refalm, one of the many live distros I have tested has been Slax, and I have to say, it is lovely.

Another that comes into the "lovely" category is Knoppix, both ultimately rule.

DOS - straightforward, good, simple.

That can also be an advantage, if you only want to run one program at a time and you don't want lots of other shit in memory slowing your system down DOS is great.

Also as there is no swap file you don't have to worry about defragmenting your hard drive. You can also delete programs with out worrying about parts of them still being in memory.

You can also get multitasking shells for DOS.

Notice how you use the word "still". If you do nothing else on your computer than using Works (which is a product that causes a lot of compatability issues in my experience) it's very possible that you never receive any BSOD's.

However, browsing a lot on the internet with Internet Explorer is already a security issue and may slow down your computer, making it unresponsive, hogging up your memory resulting in a BSOD.

To go back on your use of Microsoft Works, I can't see why so many people didn't threw it away when they (probably) got it with their computer.
OpenOffice.org ($ 0, open source) and WordPerfect Office ($ 300, commercial) are far superior products. I recommend OpenOffice.org to you, because it suits the needs of a Works user.

I don't think Hmph? uses

His post just contained some very bad English, which I've corrected for you.

I've worked at a high school once, and the kids where complaining about how there work from home couldn't be opened at school.
All these kids got Microsoft Works free with their computer. It's non-compatible with Microsoft Office, and it only has a purpose if you print your stuff. The saving button seems to be there only for other Microsoft Works computers.
It wouldn't be that bad if there was a PDF feature (which OpenOffice.org does have).

You know what's infinitely worse than that? The unparalleled moron that inevitably says "I can't open this in Works on this computer," to which a teacher says "that's because we have Word and the two are mutually incompatible."

...to which, the student replies - and I quote from a real experience here - "why don't you UPGRADE?" Like Works is the next incarnation of Office or something. That kid got a few nice wads of paper in the back of the head for that question.

My PC came with XP & Works and it certainly wasn't free, I could've bought it for a lower price without the software and I

I don't think you people going to bolive that.
I have recantly visited a friend and I found out that her Windows 98 has been working now for 2 years whitout being reinstaled , and what is even more starnge it was works quite good. How is that possible?? I have to reinstole my Windows every 6 month , if I don't do that it just stops working properly and crashes all the time.

WMD · « **Reply #44 on:** 1 September 2004, 03:57 »

I have a 6-year-old install of Win95 that works, and I have cousins with a 5-year-old install of Windows 98.

Mine works because I know how to deal with it, but it's really slow. ZipSlack with Fluxbox fly on it

That other computer...I have no idea why it works. Either way, it's on its last leg. BSOD when I ran Scandisk. :rolleyes:

Stop Microsoft
