you cannot tell me you actually like microsoft

They may not do much well, but we do have them to thank for a standardized software enviroment that is relatively easy to develop for. I have no great love for MS, but all they are truly guilty of is making the software market work harder, better, and faster which has resulted in better software than we might have otherwise/

standardized my ass - they AVOID complying to standards whenever possible

easy to develope for - try doing anything REAL on them, have to code around bugs in the OS - if you're smart you use something like wxWidgets and let them abstract you from the underling OS [and instantly cross platform your app]

MS is guilty of antitrust in ever possible manner. Not to mentino the bugs I see in their OS i would have been embarassed to make when I just learned C - they OS is freaking pathetic. Furthermore microsoft has NOT driven innovation in any manner

Are you aware the only major operating system out there that isn't a unix or unix-clone these days is WINDOWS

Let's list the other major players

Linux - Unix Clone
Mac OSX - Unix
*BSD - Unix
UnixWare - Unix
AIX - Unix

anyone i leave out?

QDOS

i said major

Bobboau · **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2004, 09:21:12 pm

I was jokeing. you do know what QDOS stands for right?

there is one good thing that came out of Microsoft, HARDware standardisation, after windows took over, everything _HAD TO_ conect to an x86 based system, you can go out rip a hard drive out of just about any computer anywere and plug it into just about any computer anywere and it will work, this wouldn't have happend without Microsoft's iron fist and the wintel aliance of doom.

MS is evil but I like windows.

Liberator · **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2004, 09:44:04 pm

You're the most bitter 20-year-old I know Kaz.

I didn't say they were good, just that they make everybody else work harder.

Serves the greedy bastards right. When one wants more money than what is used to pay for effort, its called business. When one wants more money for 25 copies of Windows and Office than the buyer spends on the 25 computers, its called Microsoft.

If I were religious, i'd believe that the creator of Unix was God himself.

Bobboau · **Reply #12 on:** March 23, 2004, 10:25:40 pm

and the creator of windows, SATAN!

Janos · **Reply #13 on:** March 23, 2004, 10:27:36 pm

EU suing Microsoft apparently had no larger consequenses on their ratings? Weird.

Kazan · **Reply #14 on:** March 23, 2004, 10:44:05 pm

Janos: that's a 3 month projection

Liberator: there is a difference between being "bitter" and knowing what the **** you're talking about - you made an incorrect statement,

spewed lies directly from the mouths of m$ and their lackies [zarax], that irks me. There is a large difference between being bitter and knowing what you're talking about

übermetroid · **Reply #15 on:** March 23, 2004, 10:46:44 pm

The Eu sued Microsoft? ---googling---0

Bobboau · **Reply #16 on:** March 23, 2004, 10:52:06 pm

yeah, there doing what our DoJ should have done years ago

Kazan · **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2004, 10:52:16 pm

you need to read slashdot

demon442: you would be polytheistic as Unix was created by Ken Thompson, and Dennis Ritchie

Bobboau · **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2004, 10:53:19 pm

the duinity

Rictor · **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2004, 11:29:52 pm

Really, I don't know who to dislike more, Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Both are egotistical bastards who owe all they are to the work of others.

Hmm, Jobs I guess, but not by much.
