Here is a clue, how about dropping RRS from the distribution where this
is off topic?

Your argument is totally ridiculous. The primary reason for Microsoft's
popularity is simply because it is so flexible.
What do you want your computer to do? Microsoft's OS does it.

I had no idea people wanted their systems to crash so often.

Are you going digital?
Crippled shareware indeed. I don't use virus programs either. I don't shell
out hundreds of bucks every 3 or 4 years. Your words not mine. If you do
that's your business. Media playthings?? Are you a child?


I have always been ahead of technology, not "keeping up". And yes, when
it comes to making music, I am a child.

Microsoft has nothing going for it other than the DirectX graphics
library and strong-arm deals with mass-marketers of inferior hardware.

In broadcasting we don't tolerate crashes and freezing, because it tends

mission-critical.


Talk about annoying the audience, a somewhat new trend in live local
TV news broadcasts in Chicago and I'll assume elsewhere the last few
years is to have a long shot showing the anchors in the foreground
while passerby on the street are shown since it now seems to be the
"in" thing to have a showcase studio at street level. Invariably some
yahoo stares or just has to wave or jump or down or do something dumb,
which in my options totally destroys the anchor's creditability making
the news, suppose to be a serious show, look more like a circus.

Even dumber is the director of CNBC's popular "Fast Money" show that
features motor mouth anchor Dyland Ratigan and four "experts" giving
stock tips each trying to out talk each other. While I find the banter
often interesting, the director constantly makes fast cuts to show one
of the experts not talking while you still hear the one that is. This
probably was a accident originally, but now it seems to be a "feature"
of the show with whoever the director switches to as soon as they're
aware the camera is on them they ham it up, like smirk or roll their
eyes or do something else silly while the other guy is still heard
talking. I don't get it.

Negative attitude?

Since when is the truth negative?

Call me odd if you want, I'm kind of funny in that I expect something
I've paid for to work as advertised.

The real problem is Microsoft has a 20+ year history of releasing
Windows with KNOWN bugs. I guess a dope like you thinks that's cool.
You certainly seem to excuse it at least. How come? Please don't
insult me with the typical all software has bugs bull****.

Sure, poor design, bugs and sloppy, bloated untested code.

I shouldn't have to.


That's more stupid than the first.



(top posting fixed to ensure clarity)


Why should he HAVE to worry about what causes crashes? Any properly
running appliances, such a refrigerators, alarm clocks, etc., cause no
worry OR a need for detective work.

You plug them in and they do their job.

O.K. You built it and it keeps crashing. That describes you.


I built the system. Microsoft built the operating system. That is what
crashes and has so many security holes in it. Funny thing, I'm not
alone. Check it out:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...Vista+problems

I guess the "WOW" Microsoft use to use to describe Vista must be they
knew Google would find millions of people having problems.

Since you asked, consider this one:

http://security.itproportal.com/arti...rns-microsoft/

It seems Apple's popular browser Safari is a security risk on the
Windows platform and Microsoft just made an official request for
Windows users to stay away from it and not use it.

Oh this is indeed interesting. If you're a true blue Microsoft fan
you're trusting Microsoft crap like Defender and UAC to PROTECT you.

Well not so fast. This issue and THREAT is due to how Windows in both
XP and Vista handles executable files on the desktop, the most logical
place you would have a link to a browser.

Oh you remember, the very things Microsoft claims it wants to protect
you from with Defender and UAC. Guess those things don't work too
well. Surprise!

Honest, you Microsoft apologists make be laugh so hard my ribs hurt.

This newsgroup is overflowing with stupid comments. Many of them seem
to be coming from guys like you that can't stand to see anyone being
critical of Vista. Sorry to inform you it sounds like you have been
inflicted with the same fatal disease the resident troll Frank has
where the person just rants and screams and keeps making excuses for
Microsoft releasing crap.
