Anyone who thinks Microsoft blows and that open source is the best should post an agreement. Then I'll show this to all my friends who aren't at least in a dual boot config.........:)

I agree this post was pointless.
/me walks out yelling something about wasted server space
As for your answer please see my sig
sorry, I didn't emphasize that the point was to persuade all of my friends to get Linux.........;)
/me walks out yelling about my own idiocy in not stressing that point and therefor calling in unneccessary flames
hehe.. xmaddness..
remember "he who is without sin ,may cast the first stone"
do you believe you have never wasted any server space ?
i know i'm guilty..
but really pysk0tik.. don't live up to your name.. as i do to mine :rolleyes:
hey.. at least I answered his question... :fart:
Cygwin For Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a feeling you posted this thread using windows. Well anyways...If your friends like windows why would you want them on linux? If they like paying 300$ or however much it is for windows, let them. If they feel safe, let them. they will figure it out someday...hopefully..
Windows is mainly used for games. If it weren't for the gaming community, there'd be a significant number of users out there (mainly, the smarter ones) using linux or mac OS X. Sure, MS has the desktop for businesses but that's only because 98% of all business users are general morons (at least the 98% that I've run into, hehe..).
Um... MS sucks bad in ways, but they do have the best browsers around when it comes to speed. But again, since they don't know anything about security, then... that makes their systems the most widely used, yet the most insecure (or maybe with some useless firewall craps) for homes. Business are now using Linux since it cost less to maintain and startup with. As U all know, Microsoft's Hotmail service once even admited that their products are NOT as stable as OpenSource (most) can be.
HOTMAIL ONCED USED FREEBSD INSTEAD OF THEIR STABLE STABLE STABLE (REALLY NOT) WINDOWS NT 4.0. Now? Finally they got their act 2gether when someone found out that Hotmail uses FREEBSD, and guess what? They got Windows 2000, which is based on their source code from early 90s for servers, which would be NT!
NOTHING NEW EVER COMES FROM MICROSOFT! UNLIKE THE EVER CHANGING OPENSOURCE!
You know micrsoft does suck, there bussiness tactics are crazy and insane. Which is why most people don't like them. But Windows NT versions in my opinon will kick any Linux versions ass and then do it again just for fun. For all the people who want opensource, remember $$ that's probably what you would make if you were making windows apps. Windows and Microsoft will always be around. They've got everything, and Linux really doesn't have anything. Windows ROCKS AND LINUX SUCKS!!!
hmm ANY os is cool as long as you know how to maintain it.. and as far as anyone knows.. Windows 2000 Advanced Server 0wNz!! u can set up a network of 5 different servers with 5 different O/S (*nix and windows) and one of them is Win2K Adv Server.. and leave them on default.. and let people attack it.. you would see that Win2K Adv Server would remain standing.. and others would be compromised.. trust me.. i did this test myself. coz i wanted to know which O/S would serve well.. and if u wont agree with me.. search in TheRegister.co.uk an article that says Win2K is the most secure and stable O/S ever.. and i already knew about the O/S's reliability long before i read that article. and yes Win2K Adv Server can also be used for desktop purposes.
look, the only reason why we use microsoft is becuase they own our ass, and i know we hate to admit it, but they do *sigh*
-- convert to linux!
lol, any software would do for me as long as it does the job. but as for now, i worship Win2K Adv Server, not microsoft.. just the Win2K Adv Server..
and i did stop using IE since i downloaded Opera.. tho i occasionally use IE coz there are some websites that wont work properly with Opera.. like firewall.cx ( my major source for networking information) and national.com.au (where i do my internet banking).. like i said.. any software would do as long as it does it job. and im on win98 and so far no one has EVER cained me.. why? coz i do a good job in maintaining my box. i always make sure that its always updated and patched.
and i am Anti-MS Outlook.. i just dont like the idea of having my e-mail dynamically linked to my system.. same reason why i dont like AOL..
tho i do agree microsoft do suck.. for one i loath ME and NT.. eeeuughhh.. NT is like my room... damn unorganized.. ME is just a huge HOGGGG.. and XP is making me uneasy...
Ummm... not sure where you've been, but IE actually has one of the slowest rendering engines around... it's called Winblowz. If you want a fast browser, try lynx. :D It does some things well, in certain situations, but it primarily just sucks hard...Quote:

Well... guess what... at that time, coincidentally, there was this company in Silicon Valley called "Hotmail." And, Gates' croonies somehow got wind of how many people were flocking to them and (*gasp*) "acquired" them. Since then, the folks at Snotmail have had a severe "clue" problem and, well...Quote:

w00t awesome post s0nic.....i agree with u adv server is great proabably the best out there but the bad thing is i cant play games on :(...so i am on win xp and linux corel dual boot system....."Microsoft sucks," Sun said <======== that is the best qoute ever in my opinion by an executive.....win xp is ok it has a built in firewall that works on incoming packets(viruses) and as for trojan which xp sucks at i have my "tiny" firewall...works for me and so far the internal built in firewall has found the K worm a couple times and deleted it...so i am happy :)
oh and the truth of the matter is EVERY o/s will have holes and microsoft is no exception and open source does make it easier to find holes....no matter how hard we try to make the unpenetrable o/s there will be soem genious twisted phyco that will find a bug so w/e i live with wot there is and try to make mine box as secure as i can :)
Sorry dude, but you just made me laugh and laugh and laugh...MS will never compete against *NIX in the areas of stability, security, and ability to fix/modify at will.Quote:

Hey, Vorlin.........I made a thread about how many people would ditch windows if they realized they could play all those games on Linux/MacOS.........something like WINE, etc
hmmm.....i would but games not only ....i need my damn winmodem to work with linux...bah
lol.........but I'm too lazy to go ahead and dump windows completely......right now I'm in a dual boot config w/ Mandrake 8.1 and XP.....
i want mandrake 8.1 but i cant find it anywhere to d/l :(....bleh i heard it supports my win modem
Ummm, did hogfly fart in here or something?
lol..doesnt he always?
i like unix but i'm stuck with windows :(
Well in truth M$ and well Bill, Steve actually believe their own Media Myth's, I do not think Bill has coded since oh about 1987 or so :D. Anyway M$ stuff is alright the license issues are a nightmare, buy a corp license you still pay again ordering a new system cause there is not a discount say call Dell say I want this or that say I have a corp license they will say OK no OS but there is no discount on the price, so you say what the hell send it then. Then up comes a guy from the past called Ralph Nader, he became famous during the 60's as I remember it there was this car called a Covair and he did all this testing and back then had to actually film the results of the test, proved the Covair was unsafe at any speed :) following here? M$ is just like the Covair unsafe but it's everywhere. Along comes Ralph today at http://news.com.com/2100-1001-932098.html?tag=fd_top now seems to me he has the right idea seems a few Boiler Plate Gov, State purchase and or bib requirements need to be updated.
*fart* erm, excuse me.....
I hate Micropeckers-soft. I have a friend who thinks Windows is the best, and its the best for everyone.
emrys: try the mandrake ftp
emrys.. that wasn't a real quote.. it was taken from satirewire.. who makes fun of a lot ofQuote:
....."Microsoft sucks," Sun said <======== that is the best qoute ever in my opinion by an executive.....

yep.. u can never compare an B52 Stealth Bomber to a Paper Plane..Quote:
Sorry dude, but you just made me laugh and laugh and laugh...MS will never compete against *NIX in the areas of stability, security, and ability to fix/modify at will.
like the B52 Sealth Bomber.. *nix was created for "security" so people will have a stable and secure service..
and like the Paper Plane... Windows was built for "usability" hence ur wizards, click here.. click there.. so everyone can have and use a computer ;)
not much people can fly a B52 Bomber.. but it seems every one knows how to fly a Paper Plane.. hehe ;)
lol s0nic now adays wiht a couple months training any1 can fly a plane as long as u can take the g's :P....oih and for those that suggested the mandrake site it is not very fast to d/l fomr cuz so many ppl are d/ling it.....it would take like 6 hours on slow DSL and i ma on 56k u know wot 3 huge image files would take to d/l?! bah /me will install red hat 7.2 since i got it on CD :)
*ROFL* I actually got 'negative' points for my comment about unix! To the person who said this:
Sorry if you're a disgruntled "MCSE" or something but due to your comment, you come off as the lamer, not me. I merely pointed out where MS takes a dive and I'd ask for a valid argument but your posted comment proves I'd be better off talking to /dev/null. On a second note, what's your average uptime anyways? Ours average over 100 days solid and that's a production environment, only being rebooted once every 3 months.Quote:
UNIX sucks and always will SUCK , lamer!
*listens to the silence* I thought so...oh yeah, I didn't have to mention that it was an unsigned negative comment, rofl...loser.
lol and one of my friends started this thread while i was in the bathroom............now i got like 144 negative antipoints...........*sigh*........but I have to support vorlin, whoever gave that comment should go ahead playing with their carboard cutout computers that came with their desk
acutally.. Unix is also quite stable, and if configured properly, very secure. because with Unix you can do preety much almost anything.. with unix the security mainly depends on the person who uses it. tho it is not easy to be an expert in unix...
yea cuz all the newbies have to start somewhere, and windows is definitely fun-filled lol
lol...vorlin why would any1 evn try to give ya neg points?....i mena u have so many does it even matter?...there is some really stupid ppl out there
/me pulls on flame proof suit
I think microsoft is class
**the perfect way to cut back on heating bills**
/me warms hands on the flames directed at this post :D
hehe

bah u dont know wot being flameds...is trust me......if i never get flamed again in my life i stilll been flamed more than the average person.....
heh I know was only messin about ;)
