Hate Microsoft? Click Here >

Just needing a bit of humor, i stumbled upon this at:

http://www.gdargaud.net/Humor/Quotes...html#Microsoft

tell me wot you think of them :D

1. "I wonder what Jesus would do if He had to reload Windows 95 for the eighth time today ?"
2. "DOS never says 'EXCELLENT command or filename'."
3. "It's been said that Bill Gates named his company after his dick..."
4. "Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question. NO is the answer."
5. "...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates.
6. "What does the Start button do — isn't the computer already running ?"
7. "Why should I press the Start button to turn the computer off ?"
8. "I had a fortune cookie the other day and it said: 'Outlook not so good'. I said: 'Sure, but Microsoft ships it anyway'."
9. "'Intel Inside': The world's most widely used warning label."

and last but not least (in my opinion THE BEST)

10. "...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system."

hehehe...no. 10 is the best way.

Heh, You bash on Windows but ill bet anything that you typed this post on a Windows system... And that you use Windows at home all day long... Only bash companies if you have a gripe with them, not just because you found something on the net and thought it was cool.... Bashing MS is a privelage, not a right.... Now AOL, Theres someone that every person here can make fun of :D

I have to agree with Acid, besides are you talking about best OS as a server or best OS for on the desktop, because sorry to say it but Linux and some other opensource systems are not better (yet) on the desktop. For example, Linux with a matrox dual head doesn't support 3d, OpenBSD doesn't support smpt nor Java,
but if you are talking about as a webserver/ftp server then the open source systems and also MacOS X beat Windows.

It would be nice if I had some choice about which OS I use, unfortunately the majority of educational institutions in the UK seem to think that Windows is the way to go and the UK government loves proprietory software. :(

acid spec,

does RedHat 7.1 sound like windows to you???

Well, if you switch some letters, add some letters, and leave out some letters, it does...
Hmmm, 'RedHat' actually sounds like Wet Hat...

Oh btw, no. 5 and no. 10 are the same ;)

I have to agree with ac1d and foc. I use both linux and windows on a dual boot machine. That way i get best of both worlds :) Pwaring: The UK government cant really use open source because of habits that mean they need the use of a "popular" OS

more MS Bashing retards .. "oh lets bash MS, we will be elite .. man we r teh leetest caz we bash MS! want to join my anti-MS clan? we will have kewl tags like [Elite]Name{MS}^BasherS^ then everyone will go out and buy tshirts of us. we will be so cool! ". if u dont like it dont use it, as simple as that. dont go around trying to act all elite by bagging it kthxbye

I use both Linux and Windows too, unfortunately I don't have net access on my box so I have to use what's available to me elsewhere (luckily I have 2 x E1, ADSL, and 2 x 56kb available to me! :)).

The UK government is currently considering using Open Source Software, in fact they've produced a document outlining the pros and cons of such an iniative. Chances are that they'll stick with MS because they want to suck up to big business, and also because everyone knows how to use it. Can't see why they don't use Linux servers to power the government web sites though, because that doesn't really require a GUI. ;)

I fall in the same category of redgore. dual boot : linux & windows.

Although, i am new to redhat linux, i still find it interesting. I am sure with passage of time, microsoft will have to improve as there was no major good competition earlier. This was the thing which made it sell software which was not to the mark.

Hope that the consumer gets the best

That goes for me too...Mandrake 8.2/Windoze 98se

Windows got my vote....I have more experience and I'm just learning Linux, maybe my vote will change with time.

And as for bashing MS....do it all the time, guilty as charged....

I also use AO*coughs*HELL....

I rock.... *LMAO*

I have a Winblows box and a RH 7.2 box :P The only reason I have a Winblows box is to play the latest and greatest video games ;)
When/if Linux gets better support for the new video games and vid cards, then I'll get rid of my Winblows box :)
