Micro$oft

Ok I work at tech support for about 100+ ISP's.
All I get when it comes to winxp is problems. This has to be absolutely the worst OS Microsoft ever came out with. Speaking from personal experience, the difference between the home version and the professional version is so much that you can barely troubleshoot between the two, due to the fact that the home version has a few options set in different places. I'm tired of everyone thinking windows xp is the best....learn how to use an OS and get something that works!

You said you work at a Tech Support position for 100+ ISP's right? Not that your statement itself makes much sense, but I would think that when you provide tech help to someone is because something came up wrong, right? I mean, it would be dumb sor someone to call you and tell you. " OMG WinXP is the BEST! ok.. bye bye :: click:: "
Anyways, I think that XP is pretty much a good OS, and I think its time that everyone that is so much against XP and Microsoft itself would give it some lever of recognition.
Okay, thats my 2 cents worth.

I hate to start arguing the issue again, but MoneySoft makes it too hard to resist. I do not like XP.

If someone pointed a gun at my head and said "get XP or die", I would calmly reply "OH ****!!! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU SAY!!!" I would then go to the store, purchase XP Pro because it doesnt require product registration("thats right activation is registration boys and girls and micro$oft can track everything that you do once you activate" said the paranoid rabbit). I would find that my ISA bus modem, that is needed to use for linux, is useless and now must be replaced with a PERFORMANCE ENHANCING Winmodem. I hop over and try to use some of the java applications that I wrote and whoops--XP doesnt have support for java. Oh well. I try to use linux after words and whoops--XP deleted the dual boot loader. I try to access my scanner and whoops--the driver for my scanner doesnt work and the company is out of business. Guess Im SOoL(**** out of luck). At least its more stable than Windows 98. Gee that was worth $299. Id like it if someone would run a copy of ad-aware on a freshly installed Windows XP that no changes have been made to. How much spyware does microsoft install default.

Wasn't this thread originally about micrsoft smelling bad?
I had my hopes all up, my bad pun loaded and at the ready too...
ah well

Oh, and there are a skadillion cracks out there for XP, as well as regedits and other little backdoors to get around MS's gestapo garbagio

XP is by far the best o/s that microsoft has built. um... it works great... never crashes, most stable yet... no linux.... but better then the earlier versions of windows. as for the registration.... REGISTRATION IS OPTIONAL.... the only thing you lose is tech support and who needs that? all you need is the install key for it to work. and bootlegging is possible... it can be burned and DOES NOT force you to register after 30 days, bootleg or not. this i know for fact.... i know many people bootlegging it.

if windows does not remove their registry files... therefore, windows will still sucks! (i hope you know what registry is!?!). logically windows xp still sucks! ;)

yes i know what the registry is.... but i hate to tell you.... it doesn't suck. it's not the best.... but it gets the job done when i am not using linux ( i hope you know what linux is ;) ). and it gets the job done with out crashing and with out screwing up major important parts of my pc. therefore it's better then before, and therefore it could be worse

I dont know why Xp is getting such a hard time, out of the box (well, virtual box anyway ;) )it works well and install didnt cause me any aggro.

Everyone knows ME is the worst M$ OS ever

IPSO 3.3FCS-3 is the OS of choice.

Fat women are like mopeds. They're fun to ride until your best friend sees you on one ;)

XP is not my problem, it is microsoft. I purchased a copy of mandrake linux 8.1, it had ftp server software, smtp server software, dns server software, http server software, an office suite for word processing, three web browsers, cd burning software, firewall software, two different desktop environments, support for almost all of my peripherals, a good selection of games, mp3 playing software, graphics editing software, development areas for programming, and the best part is that it cost $20.00 U.S. dollars. Since it includes so much server software, the only package windows has that comes close is Windows 2000 server. Expect to spend $500 on this product. Or if you want a microsoft product in the same price range, you could probably purchase Windows 3.1 for the same price.

And it gets even better now that M$ has started their new "rent a license" policy. I was at a seminar last night and I couldn´t believe my eyes when they informed about this new thing with straight faces!

I'am happy with my Win2k box but still use Win98, Win95, Win NT4, and Linux on other boxes. They all perform fine except the bleu screens who appear from time to time :mad:

Shouldn't schools, colleges, universities,... get a copy of a Linux OS so people learn to use a real OS and see what comes behind the grfx.

Some1 said that Win98 was his best OS cause it's does nearly anything. I Disagree -> make your OS doing what you want.

Yea, why don't any schools teach any real computer skills??? All the people in the field just have to learn it for themselves? How dumb, it sounds like a communistic idea doesn't it, schools not allowing certain knowledge to be attained, alot of it isn't even illegal.

some public high schools and all colleges have unix labs. in college, all c programming is taught on a unix sun system. many high schools don't have the money to have two labs and as sad as it is *most people are not going to be programmers, and the business world lives by microsoft* so why teach something only 20% of the class needs? this is why many states don't have it, but i know in PA (where i live) there are many high schools with unix labs. ( at least 50%)

windows or windows is still windows!

Jeez, I'm just trying to bitch about the school system, you don't gotta ruin it fer me.
OH WHY WONT YOU JUST LET ME BITCH!!?!?!
WOWAYS MEEEE!!
hehe, just kidding in case you didn't catch the sarcasm

Maybe you are right, I was just enthousiast. You have made some good points.

But why does M$ is considered among the masse's to be the only OS for pc? If schools let their students 'meet' Linux, it had more addepts.

At my place mostly universities use unix and linux (mine does) intense. Not high schools or basic schools

Let me tell you how lucky you were to go to such a nice high school. I am not in school anymore and I am glad because here in Kansas City, due to the fact that the schools had a very tight budget they decided that since most of our books were outdated and torn apart, they would eliminate school books all together on the middle school level. Instead they would make xerox copies of lessons for students. As fo computers there was a very outdated lab running Windows 3.1 good for only typing. A unix lab would have been unheard of due to budget restraints and the fact that they would have to pay someone who understood unix to teach the class and maintain the lab. Im sure that in the rich neighboring suburban cities there are unix labs, but ive never been there.

btw I hope my resentment isnt too apparent, and as a side note I am not against people who live in the suburbs, I just feel that those of us who live in the city should recieve an equal education.
