ROLFMAO!!!!

Linux, the OS that brought us stone age computing.

Linux is just a pile of hacks and buggy crap with an ugly GUI.

Well, my Linux works fine, never had a kernel or X crash in 12 months of
running it, so it would seem to be less buggy that the windows OS's I have
tried..

I take it from the last phrase of your comment that you consider the windows
GUI to be attractive. Fair enough if you like the Fisher-Price style, I
suppose..

Of course the nice thing about Linux/BSD, etc is that you have a very broad
choice of different GUI's - Gnome, KDE, windowmaker, enlightenment, fvwm,
twm, xfce, sjd, etc, etc - ranging from minimal-and-fast to
packed-with-eyecandy-but-still-faster-than-xp.

And of course, if I tire of all this eyecandy, a quick Crtl-Alt-F2 and I can
enjoy the calming simplicity of the command line. Try doing that with xp..

nobody wants, except the few cola linfux cretins who love to waste days
trying to accomplish what normal people do in minutes with windows.

Right. That's why I get paid (quite well in fact) working 60+ hours a
week to set up and fix Windows PCs for "normal" people. It's provided
a solid living for me and my colleagues for over 15 years.

In 1982, ignorant cunt-warts just like you talked smack about that new
OS called Windows.

Have your bung-punching boyfriend read the following to you:

+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+
A Brief History of Microsoft Windows*

As Steve Jobs had noticed, the Graphical User Interface was the way to
go. Microsoft caught on to the visual presentation idea as well (later
provoking a copyright infringement suit filed by Apple) and started
developing Microsoft Windows in 1982. Windows has since become a hit,
but it had a bumpy road in its first few years. Here is a list of
Windows milestones:

1983 -- Microsoft announces the first version of Windows. It doesn't
work. The product ultimately ships in 1985, but (almost) nobody buys
it.

1984 -- IBM announces TopView, its own windowing product. Users find
it so slow and useless that they call it TopHeavy ...

1987 -- IBM and Microsoft announce, together, a new operating system
called OS/2. It is a windowing operating system destined to replace
DOS, they say. The system was developed by Microsoft. However, OS/2
proves to be too expensive, too slow, and its hardware requirements
are well ahead of its time. That same year, Microsoft announces
Microsoft Windows 2.0, offering compatibility with existing Windows
applications and a system of overlapping rather than tiled windows.

1988 - Microsoft figures out a way to let Windows take advantage of
the "protected mode" of Intel's 80386 microprocessor, which helps
solve the memory problems that plagued earlier versions of Windows.
Microsoft starts the development of Version 3.0 of Windows.

1990 -- Microsoft launches Windows 3.0 at the City Center Theatre in
New York. Easier to use and more aesthetically appealing, this version
quickly becomes a best-seller and takes the industry by storm. PC
Manufacturers start preloading copies of Windows 3.0 on their PCs
along with MS-DOS. Microsoft Windows has made it.

1992 -- Microsoft launches Windows 3.1, fixing major bugs, adding over
1,000 enhancements and speeding Windows up. Microsoft premiers its
television advertising campaign, designed to introduce the benefits of
Windows-based computing to a broader audience. The new version drew
over one million advance orders worldwide. Microsoft also launches
Windows for Workgroups, which supports networking. In the same year,
IBM launches the competing OS/2 version 2.

1993 - Microsoft Windows unit sales reach 25 million copies. Microsoft
launches the first version of Windows NT (New Technology) -- its
operating system for networks of PC's. The product is slow, expensive
and its hardware requirements are well ahead of its time.

1994 - Microsoft launches Windows NT 3.5, fixing major bugs and
speeding Windows NT up. Corporations start taking Windows NT
seriously. Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 becomes the world's
best selling retail operating system, edging Windows 3.1 into the No.
2 spot.

August 1995- Microsoft ships Windows 95, which combines the operating
system with an improved Windows interface. Windows 95 is late, but --
to the tune of a $300 million marketing campaign -- it sells millions
of copies with 280 PC manufacturers preloading it on their machines.
More than 1 million copies of Microsoft Windows 95 are sold at retail
stores during the first four days of availability in North America.

December 1995 - Microsoft declares war, vying to "embrace and extend"
the Internet and to weave Microsoft Windows into the Internet fabric.
Microsoft gives its Web browser, Internet Explorer for Windows 95,
away for free to challenge Netscape's Navigator.

1996 -- Microsoft launches Windows NT 4.0, with the same graphical
user interface as Windows 95. Corporations consider Windows NT the
operating system of choice for networked PC's.

1997 - The Antitrust Section of the U.S. Justice Department sues
Microsoft, accusing it of violating an earlier consent decree by
forcing computer makers to use its Internet browser as a condition of
using Microsoft Windows.

1998 - Windows 98, which combines Microsoft's Internet Explorer and
the Windows operating system, is released, followed by the Microsoft
antitrust trial. The U.S. Justice Department and 20 state attorneys
general file U.S. vs. Microsoft, charging that Microsoft is illegally
thwarting competition to protect and extend its monopoly on software.
A key issue at trial is whether integrating the Windows operating
system with the Internet Explorer browser is permissible.

1999 - Microsoft promises to release Windows 2000, an operating system
that runs the entire range of computers from laptops to large
back-office systems.  This is the largest software project in history,
sized at 30 million lines of code. As of 1999, the product is being
tested, and its developers are finding -- and fixing -- a few hunderd
bugs everyday.

1999/2000 - Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson reaches a decision in U.S.
vs. Microsoft.  However, the impact of the landmark decision is
overshadowed by the effects of the Y2K bug

If Apple didn't have their heads up their ass and allowed the cloning
of their OS, Windows would have taken even longer to grow.

Back then there were no trolls, just dipshit morons like you that
thought nothing could ever beat Nintendo's Donkey Kong and that a
spoiler on your hand-me-down AMC Javelin would make it go faster.

>>>As Steve Jobs had noticed, the Graphical User Interface was the way to

>>>but it had a bumpy road in its first few years. Here is a list of
>>>Windows milestones:

1981: Bill Gate$ mom, a mining heiress makes a deal with IBM execs so 
that m$ gets the DOS contract.  Hence a monopoly from a monopoly.  Hence 
no mater what shit they produce, people are forced to buy it.

1981-1995: Crimo$oft releases a torrent of crapware, all of which is 
designed to fix the problems of the previous years release of crapware. 
  Because the stock is all held by 6 people, an arm of willing dupes 
help to make these people 'the richest in the world'.  Sycophants and 
hangers  on are legion -- all the while the earth is polluted by 
crapware and an entire generation learns to think of computers as 
something that have to be 'rebooted' once an hour.

1995: The Internet.  Microsoft is killed.

1996-present:  Like a 50 year old hag trying to slip her bloated body 
into a size 4 tube skirt, m$ constantly goes schizo trying to both 
'capture' the new Web market and destroy Internet standards.  Why? 
Because the Internet exposes the flaws in their software, the illegality 
of their business and the stupidity of various 'boy geniuses' flaunted 
before the public.

2004-future: Static and then declining revenues.  Dividends the size of 
New Jersey until the corporate coffers are exhausted.  Then the 
discharge of legions of burned and disgruntled employees -- most of whom 
have been taking Linux night classes during the decline.

Ahh ...  Win95 ...  a 32 bit API ...  
  I was drooling for that release .

That's when Microsoft hit the big  Big  time .
( That's also when J.A. Bailo lost his sanity )

John ,  you don't understand workstations .
(( All you know is dumb terminals  ( i.e.  Spastic HTTP )
    connected to your SpamWare ))

Dumb terminals have died a thousand deaths ,
  and you want to keep reviving it ...  to prolong the agony .

Hello Dr. Hawking ,  You mention the ,
" the stupidity of various  ' boy geniuses ' "  at Microsoft .

I agree with that .

Microsoft's testers must all be moonlighting skid row bums .

And all those idiot Microsoft millionaires on their yachts ,
  sailing up the inside straight ...
    They don't give a rat's ass about anything .

But the last laugh will be on them :
  Because life is a bizarre casino :
    Where ,  in the long run ,
    Absolutely everything will lose to the house .
