Why I love Microsoft

Most people seem to find BSoD annoying. They find the OS unstable because of frequent crashes. Little bugs and glitches and compatibility errors bother them. For instance in Win95 a saved password in a DUN connection will suddenly disappear. For no reason. Most would consider that a bug that needs to be fixed.

I disagree. I think these bugs, glitches and crashes are very reliable and they add tons of stability. They are reliable in the fact that they happen. Consistently. Frequently. To the masses. And the stability comes into play in my job. As long as Microsoft exists my job as technical support for my ISP will never go away. So bring on the bugs and glitches and down with Linux, FreeBSD ect.. for the masses. I enjoy the pleasures of laughing at the users while fixing another microsoft caused error.

Long live the monopoly!

-who is currently working with the users that are as stupid as micrsoft if your wondering why I sound so crazy-

Hell without Microsoft there wouldnt be much security to discuss. ;)

"viva monopoly"

and who would we all have to beat up on? No Microsoft and we have no target for all of our pent up rage...

Ewwwwww......

hehe yea RIGHT! I guess the oven makers in germany loved Hitler too.;)

Yea my favorite line when giving tech support to mbrs is

Me: ok double click on my computer
Mbr: How the hell am i supposed to double click on your computer
(mbr all frustrated and pissed off responce)

hard to belive but this has been said to me a few times

You my friend ...are one of the many reasons there is a M$ monopoly. If you would learn unix you could get a REAL tech support job...I work with sco all day long.You get to work with intelligent poeple at the unix help desk. M$ blows donkeys

All this talk of monopoly will seem quaint
in a few short years.
Back when IBM designed the PC,
they hired this unknown little company
to write the OS.
They fully intended to USE the stupid
geeks and move on.
Gates put one small item into the
contract.
While IBM would "own" DOS, microsoft
could sell as many copies they wanted
to other parties.
Gates and Microsoft turned the tables
on the Mighty Big Blue.
The Intel x86 line of chips is obsolescent.
The "compatible" BIOS is an obstacle to
the next generation of tech advances.
Microsoft has always been aware of the fact
that they have no particular lock on the
future, any more than IBM did.
For many people, Gates is what I call
"villain of the month"
While the people of the French revolution
were busy destroying king Louis,
Napoleon was lurking in the shadows.
:cool:

im going to be sick:killcompu this is what microsoft does to computers so i think your job is going to be safe for quite some time

How about a Red Screen of Death then.. that would probably make them less annoying... or maybe green....

<Disclaimer: This page is pretty dated, and might not work on some version of windows... try for yourself if your interested..>

well as far as microsoft is concerned...i agree that there will not be much to discuss without microsoft...but ...sudden and repeated change in the software technology and the market...effects...many people....

and because of this u can say microsoft is a synonym for "revolution".....

but the company gives new products almost everyday....

intruder...

I have to disagree with this thread, simply because I tend to be the one my friends call to fix their computer, so I don't get paid. Being a teenager, I can't really get a full-time job on computers. I'm sure that as soon as I get out into the work world and have to depend on the existence of problems to keep my job, I'll be screaming "HEIL GATES", but until then, TUX POWER!!

Microsoft is good because it gives you a job? I dont think so. Microsoft is good, because it allows my grandmother (a non computer person) to communicate with me over the internet. She would never figure out how to use linux.

Well, in the beginning, they thought about making it red, but then they decided that would be too anger-oriented, so they stuck with blue...even though someone later told them that blue was China's color of death. Go figure?

Whatever colour they made it, they should've had the text and the background being the same colour, so you wouldn't have a clue what went wrong...

Oh wait, that would be pointless.. you don't know with the BSoD anyway.. hehe

I'd have to agree with stflook. But i guess in the professional world it'll be all great!
:D

I think so. In addition to being user friendly, Microsoft employs millions of people, both directly and indirectly. If Microsoft were to suddenly disappear, there would be a lot of people out of work. Remember what happend when the court ruling agaist microsoft caused their stock to drop dramatically? Thousands of lost jobs. Like it or not, Microsoft is more than just the company that makes an OS most of you dislike.

The monopolistic power known as microsoft is not good but like it or not we must respect it because it helped bring many of us jobs. It also helped me to learn about computers. I support idiots where i work i can only imagine if we had sun solaris deployed on every desktop although it may be more powerfull and mor stable than even win2k people who are doctors and lawyers ahev enough to worry about without the politics of windows vs unix/linux we know they can truly never be compared a product that has been out over 30 years vs a 10 year old product . I might not know unix like the back of my hand but i know enough about it to say its superior in power but not idiot proof.

Windows and unix both good os's good for different things.

Seeing as I was 15 when I got the job and am now 17 I would have to disagree.... and as for all you who say get a real tech support job. I uh don't have time to have a full time admin job seeing as I still have this thing called school. I have to play with it on my own. But this fixing microsoft messup job sure beats the hell out of flipping burgers.
