I dunno, if my name was Mike Rowe I'd make a website like that. Microsoft can eat it.

The People that really tick me off , are the ones who give linux a bad name , they talk like " Oh Windows sucks , linuz is the best " , it seems that no one wants to point out errors in linux at all , we seen to devoure MS and always complain , yet most the rpeople that make those linux statements use windows themselves , or MS related products , Linus Torvaldes said it best , " Most my family use windos , and im alright with that, i dont think its ready for home use yet , there are still lots of things it needs help with , and its got a not so long compatibility list " , he spoke truth , yes its free and good , but microsotf , release a OS that peopel like and use , no one can deny that , Yes ms overcharge i belive but they still put out a good product , peopel want to say that they were the bad guy in the mike rowe story but look, they game him a whole bunch , and even an all expense paid trip to redmont , to go to the techCON , to see the future of technology , if anyone aver wants to know the true story of how MS got up and APPLE , you should watch pirates of silicon valley , its a n awsome movie taht portrayes how it all started , and just to get you interested , MS and APPLE stle the mouse idea , who from you say ? , XEROX thats right the photocopy company , they invented it !!!

i would have to agree, because a lot of people wouldnotbe here if it weren't for windows. windows was probablythe first os you might have used, it was for me. i probably would have made the website though, just because i would have thought it was really funny, but i probably would have got scared about one of the largest corporatiions on earth coming to sue me and telling me i was comitting copyright infringement

I think its about time some peopel start to fight microsoft... they CANT always win by buying people out like this ... their like the Friking Black Plague...

Paul · **Posted:** Sun Feb 08, 2004 9:17 pm

Bah, I don't see a problem to it. Business is business, and if they have the money to buy ppl out to improve business, then there's nothing wrong with it. If you want to fight microsoft, don't sell out to them, even if it will probably cost you.

the_short1 · **Posted:** Sun Feb 08, 2004 9:20 pm

Further Note...i signed up at his new site.... and i made the first post under Programing with a link to Compsci.ca !!! for publicity of course.... and i said this was the BEST site for programming....

Apple computers are actually well made, the reason that some games don't work is probably because of the Microsoft monopoly.

okay this is where things get good , if you want to know the entire truth just watch

" Piraes of silicon Valley " BUT ANYWAYS

I stated in other threads that , in a world right now without windows we would not be doing very well , everyone wants to complain about how much MS sucks but when you have what a majority wan you can charge whatever you want because peopel want it ,

I quoated before also , there are a whole bunch of people that for the hell of demeaning MS say that linux rox and windows sux , i mean im a fan of linux and have and do use it myself , but i admit if i want stability and drivers and 3d graphics i go back to windows or OSX , but there are no bad OS on that list ,

I mean without Linux there would be no xbox server, and did you know sony sell a licenced PS2 linux kit wiht a hard drive addon , and that it can be adapted to almost anything ,

Ok now Windows , its really userfriendly and is widley supported , it has good support and is a good OS , mos peopel adapt to it

Mac & Apple
they have the shortest computer manual in the world , and also have hte most stable systems becasue al of the hardware is made for that computer thus everything works at its maximum speed and potential

" A computer can only run as fast as its slowest component "
This make Apple , rock , and they have an awsome OS , but there problem is their support from other compans and gaming companies is weak , they have great stuff but some peopel are afraid to leave windows

The best quoate for a windows hater and linux love r ( not a real one , jsut the ones who say it to be cool and have never used it before )

Linus Torvaldes -- " My Family uses windows and that does not bother me , i know that Linux is not readyfpr the home user yet , but its getting there "

Lets just get it right , that each has their advantage , dont demean any of them and do not praise just one , they all have their good and bad aspects , just stop with the retarded LINUX ROCKS WINDOWS SUX stuff , when you know what your talking about and can back it up with anexplenation LIKE I HAVE , then come join our conversation
