Default Re: Are Microsoft Products really screwed up?

I'm neither a hater nor a lover of Microsoft products. I makes no difference to me whether I use a Linux or a microsoft operating system.

Of course I have been using MS for many years now and would definately find it difficult to transition to a new platform. I'm not a techie guy who'll think too deep and go into the programing aspect. My take is that Microsoft has mastered the art of selling its half baked products to the market.

Hate it or take it, you cant live without MS around you

Arrow Re: Are Microsoft Products really screwed up?

had it not been for the MS guys years ago <read decade> i dont think i/many of us would be going easy with comps! Take IBM which was the undisputed king of OS then? All that comp was a technicallly stuck up dongles that were too complicated for laymen! Didnt MS guys come up revelutionary GUI ideas? Didnt they introduce WIN++ as option for that dark-lit-room kinda DOS!I believe their introduction was innovative! i dont say i wouldnt have been here, had there been no MS coz there could have been another GATES guy!
well i agree with one thing, like LINUX original edtn was free, atleast now MS can release all those OLD WIN OS for free! MY pick would be WIN98 then!


well MS has everyri8 to innovate,upgrade,recreate or drestroy its works!WOULD you call that monopolising? okz no jokz,but how many of us use redhat? why if less? coz it aint that good at marketing in far off countries?

market strategies of MS at times are screwed up! Well think wat if MS planted bomb like bugs in all its OS and would that translate to mass techno-cide? NOT probably in those developed countries coz of innumerable options of OS they've got to choose from!

plz, not you again. i thought i was already done with you. Im not gonna provoke biggie to lock this thread again. You do the honours this time if you want.

Am too tired with this Windows vs Linux vs Mac vs "something else" OS stuff.....just like everyone else.

Am serious. Do this. Take hundred of your best friends that like to lap up anything microsoft makes. Go to Redmond.

Go to his office. Strangle his neck gently. Look him in the eye. And then wait for a few seconds.

Now ask him 4 questions.

1st -> Was windows an original idea?

Im not talking abt vista. Im talking abt the first one that came out.

2nd -> How good is windows compared to Linux?

if he says windows is better hands down, remind him about the leaked emails from the companies internal email server that were written by him that has been doing rounds on the internet for awhile now.........

3rd -> Ask him to elaborate the details of the license sold with the OS to end users and what it entails MS to do?

if he says, MS spies on its users, he is spot on. Otherwise i'll refer you to some places that say otherwise.

4rth -> And finally ask him whose copying who?

he should be stumped at that. But knowing him, he might as well pretend or act so very well that he might convince.

he should be putty by now. and perhaps you too. go back home and relax. THE END.

and in your reply don't waste ur time, telling me to go instead. Im allergic to Microsoft and BS.

In any case, I know your gonna post a huge rant.... or a small rant saying Microsoft is this, microsoft is that. Windows is too good. i beta tested that and this. you don't know stuff. Or ur gonna quote particular parts of this post to reply in retaliation with a double edged word sword.

Save it. I already did it for you.

BUt if you're twitchy fingers can't resist the urge to type...then be my guest in a house that has no host!!! meaning i wont be coming back any time soon. Atleast not to this thread. I know, you don't care. !! but none the less, still friends ?

Wink Re: Are Microsoft Products really screwed up?

Biggie is watching!

Its time to chill the flame! Reading the replies, I can't resist my urge to post . I've used both Vista & OSX for quite some time & let me tell you, Vista did 'lift' *few things* from the Appy folks. If anyone really wants me to post which features I'm talking about, let me know, I'll happily post them in the thread.

MS might not have done a revolutionary work in the world of OS, but they have done a fantastic job in bringing the computer to the common man. I am sure there won't be counter arguments to this.

Before I conclude, we are a gang of engineers & let's keep that in mind (I attended a outbound training program on team building & it has an ever-lasting effect on my mind). I'll answer Desijay's question for everyone -

dont need the details as i am as a user getting the best out of my investment in a MS software ... rest i dont care and if u say others care ... ithink the pthers comprise of only a handful of OSS users

MS is spying on me ... hmmmm ... u got any proof of that coz this is the first time iv read that MS is pying on me

every 1 ... linux has a gui very similar to windows ... is that counted as copying ... and as far as time machine is concerned ... windows has had system restore since i think windows 2000
