why is it that every time i log on here to read these threads, some one
always has to have a say about how much they hate microsoft. Surely it isnt
to hard to provide constructive criticism then to winge about how much
microsoft suck and what a better world we would be in if they went bust..
now having said this. Microsoft, please go out of buisness, revoke all your
licence's, make all microsoft products useless to the every day user.
then billy, if your reading, sit back and wait for your pen to paper letters
begging you to reopen the company as the world goes into caos and all those
wanna be complainers go back and rest there lips on mommys nipple..
 
I agree. Having said that, the Evil Empire talk is just a fact of life in
an open newsgroup or forum. People vent. Some truly hate MS but are like
the proverbial moths drawn to the flame. We all know this.

But whatever you might think, I prefer to see them vent than to see what has
happened to me in the past on Apple.com's Discussion Groups when I dared to
criticize my MacBook Pro for running too hot. My threads were summarily
locked or removed by the Apple.com staff. And I said nothing derogatory
about Apple. I just groused about the product truthfully.

Well, I did use a bit of satire too. In one thread I "threatened" to author
a new 'I'm a Mac' ad. I proposed to start it like this:

(Frumpy PC guy, sipping iced tea) "Hello, I'm a PC."
(Mac dude, sweating profusely and fanning himself) "Hello, I'm a MacBook
Pro."

I guess it was something I said.
 
Gizmodo had a video on the other day of a guy frying an egg on the bottom of
an upside down MacBook...
 
I would try that on my laptop if it didn't have so many venting holes in it.
Instead I'm going to dump some waffle mix on the keyboard and close the lid
tommorrow for breakfast. Perfect belgian waffles!
 
Great "I'm a Mac" ad, Colin. Thanks for sharing. I've always been a WinTel
guy... been intriged by Macs, even had a Mac SE/30 that I played around with
for a bit but it was on it's last legs and crashed all the time. And that's
not a dig on Mac's... the poor SE/30 just had too many miles on it when I
got it... c'est la vie.

My personal experience on working with MS folks is that they are dedicated,
professional, and friendly to a fault. Sure, they want to push the MS line
and argue MS's merits in public but will not shirk from admitting the facts
of the matter, whatever that matter may be, offline. Evil empire indeed...
sour grapes from those that wish they were sitting in the cat-bird seat that
MS occupies. Shoot... if MS ever stops developing Office for the Mac...
hahahaha. And now Macs can run XP. Hmmmm.... does that mean Apple endorses
the Evil Empire? "Luke... you are my son, Luke." "Nooooooooooooooooo!"

Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Thnx,

Lang
 
I prefer waffles in the morning. I just pour batter on the keyboard and
slap the lid closed. Two minutes later I'm surfing the web and eating
breakfast.

Now, if I could just figure out how to get those indentations on both
sides....
 
You bet it means Apple endorses Windows. It's going to be the bread and
butter. BootCamp is Apple software and so are the Mac Drivers for XP that
is a part of BootCamp. Apple slipped a Mickey to the user base. They lost
too much market share over the last few years not to open up the hardware to
Windows. That line "We won't do anything to block installing Windows" was
just pablum to the loyalists.
 
If you want to hate Microsoft fine.. but that's your problem.

We here care about seeing Microsoft products be of
very high quality, so that they can lead the whole
world to new horizons.

Microsoft needs reorganization and to take a second look
at its structure and people that are in charge making the decisions. It is
clearly off course and the very
bad results they are having with vista shows it.

I believe that the next version of windows after vista will
be what vista should have been. It will just take time.
Like people had to wait off windows Me to get XP.

If you understood the implications of what vista means,
you would not have posted this.
 
some people just dont get what newsgroups are all about...
nor do they see that people are more complicated than
they may reveal in a post.

As for your Mac add.. I like that idea :-)
 
Apple moving to intel was a suprise...

MSN connecting to Yahoo messenger networks was another.

another suprise may be apple to team up with microsoft to
make a new OS for 2010 called the UOS (universal OS).

Of course the core will be unix-like in this case...
 
wtf ... i think you misread what i was saying. or do i need to resubmit
something to make it more understandable..

ok, i like microsoft, what i hate, is people coming on here and saying
microsoft sucks cause there product doesnt work.. stupid people, of course
it doesnt work, its a god damn beta.
but im all for vista, now, tomorrow and 10 yrs down the road. (well may be
not 10).
how ever, my sarcasm about billy closing down... ahh what the hell, it aint
worth it.
may be you should just re read what i was actually saying
 
I know what you were saying...

It was kind of a joke.. because you insist on thinking
that there are 2 groups of people. MS haters and MS lovers.

Things are not that simple...

I am an MS lover, and I insist they amaze me in a good way with each
release. I see that what they are creating now
is far below the standards... I am mostly talking about
the user interface and performance. I do not know
the implications of the new technologies that they are putting under the
hood. It may very well turn out that
the GUI wont matter because you can change it easily with a product like
stardocks windowblinds, and a third party file manager... and that with lots
of tweaking you can get some performance out of that slumbering giant of
bloatedness...

But vista started out to be so much more.. and COULD have been.. but you see
MS has a structural problem.
Many big companies get at that point where they are too big to be managed
and the productivity as a whole falls.

This is not new.... but for those who understand and can see in the past and
imagine what could be in the future,
it is very clear why there is much concern about the way things are going.

I see changes coming for Microsoft after Vista.... because they will be in
some trouble.
I am sure they will overcome the challenges.
 
The surprise for me was Apple waiting so long. The big change since Apple
adopted the PPC in 2000 has been the upsurge in laptop sales to the point
where laptop sales outnumber desktop sales. There is no suitable PPC chip
that can work in a laptop competitively with Intel and AMD mobility chips.
The PPC G5 takes a laptop battery down in under 20 minutes and generates
heat that cannot be dissipated in an enclosed, tightly packed area like a
laptop. Apple's market share fell from about 10% to 2%. The iPod probably
saved them.
 
wait a moment.. it was apple who was boasting that
the chips they used were more powerful and better
than PCs!

Apple geeks made fun of the infirior power of PCs
claming that only with their chips could they have super duper media and
multitasking....
 
and "Everything just works with a Mac"
Yeah, that is why the #1 question for VPC for the last 5 years has
been..when are you going to support USB to XYZ
device(printer/scanner/GPS/sewing machine/robot/microscope, etc)
