i can agree to that decision.... i was just making a comparison to Windows.... i know each one has its charm....

just for sake of not writting a HUGe post.. i just wrote that people diss Windows is just because it is made by Microsoft... and Microsoft got the money...

i now think that he is a total idiot. he doesn't make software, so why call his site mikerowesoft, it's just a grab for attention and hits for his site. and why is he also selling that book about all his stuff, who actually wants all that, they are peices of paper not even addressed to you on copyright stuff, and stuff like that is public domain i think so you could go to your library and read copyright things. i think he's just an idiot for sucking stuff out of microsoft, even if you think ms is evil, almost everyone on this board uses microsoft products and would not be able to use a computer without microsoft.

Well said , and agreed , He was really cocky with his linux statement

That guy obviously knew M$ was gonna go after him. His site is total sh!te anyway. Noone even knew about this guy until M$ came after him and know he gets like 30K hits per day.

shorthair · **Posted:** Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:31 pm

could you imagine if you had adware on the site that gave even 1 penny per unique hit , dude it would be a huge a mount of money, lets say you had 10 ads at a penny a hit each

50 000 hits = 500 dollars an ad

5 x 10 = 50

2500 dollars

Shocked

He had a realy good chance to make some money

Maverick · **Posted:** Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:34 pm

Ya really, i culd use some of that cash for a new comp!

jonos · **Posted:** Sun Feb 15, 2004 8:10 pm

his idea was good, but it was lowsy and lame and its a quick way to get attention and products without actually really working for it. hes gotten cocky with the whole thing, soon where going to be hearing about him selling his used toilet paper on ebay, or his cats used kitty litter. there are some people that i just really dislike for things they do, and this is an example, i didn't really know a lot at the beginning, and i still don't but why call your website mikerowesoft.com if YOU DON"T MAKE SOFTWARE. sorry im on a rant, this pisses me off a lot.
