Look what I found on another forum:



I know a few beta testers and they all agree it's not worth its 1s and 0s. Anyone here tried it?

Unlike you, I don't accuse anyone who chooses to explore Operating Systems outside Microsoft "Closed Minded". HOW that makes sense to you I will never understand, but I will never need to understand it to be able to make fun of you. :p

Sorry Win, I can't help myself. :D

And I'll be learning Linux from next week. Yay ProgSoc, yay TFM!

You see... the problem with you is... you're a MS basher, but yet, you're not even 100% proficient in using their software, nor are you proficient in computing. I'm not a Linux basher, i appreciate technology, i don't go mocking other nice technology, if a piece of creation is good, i admit it is good. But as opposed to Linux people who just hate MS, because it's like some cool trend, i look down on those people. People like that only ever show how ignorant they are towards computing, all they need to see is the tag "MS" placed infront of the product's name and render it shit, or obsolete. And to reply to your stupid response, i don't accuse people for selecting OS's, i'm not even a MS lover, i liked certain aspects of their software, it's not like i say i like Windows ME, because that will be impossible. All i can say is, if you can't even produce anything to the degree of what MS can, i'd shut the hell up, because software isn't easy to make, so show some appreciation to people, even though the company is obliged to deliver quality software, you have to show appreciation towards efforts made, i'd like to see you at their stance, working in such a large corporation, there's more to it then just coding the thing together, you wouldn't know because you haven't looked into Software Development, but i have myself, on a personal level spoken to some accredited people working in MS to tell me some things i would have never known, and believe me the degree of difficulty is high. So before you go making any more silly comments, and showing more of your ignorance, i'd advise you to shutup, and don't follow the MS bashers, and don't even comment at this level of computing, with such experience you have had.

Another thing, you won't be able to make fun of me, because with the things you say, you're just making fun of yourself, by showing how stupid you are.

Haha Winston, you're so predictable. I simply posted to demonstrate how much you love Microsoft, and the lengths you go to in their (unrewarded) defence.

I had the LONGEST reply to you just now, took me a broken half hour to type...but you're my pal. Better not to argue, we both know we disagree so let's leave it at that.

But here's a tip: If you want to try and prove you're right, NEVER accuse the counterpoint of stupidity, or ignorance - personalising the issue just makes you lose. If you argue from an objective viewpoint you can (eventually) win anything. :)

You just don't get it. I'd like to see you not run windows at all and format your whole PC and just install Linux, and live with it. If you hate MS that badly, you'll do that. I think Linux is good, i'm not saying it's bad. So my point is, if you hate MS just don't use their products full stop.

:rolleyes:

You are in no position to say that I "just don't get it". I have tried many times to explain - in clear and unambiguous terms - my position. Each time you have either not understood or simply ignored what I have said.

Is there anything in this thread to indicate that I hate Microsoft? All I did was present SOMEONE ELSE'S opinion for discussion.
I know a few beta testers and they all agree it's not worth its 1s and 0s. Anyone here tried it?
See? Nothing at ALL to indicate my own opinion. I haven't even formed one yet.

As for your suggestion, I have every intention of trying Linux as soon as possible. I don't know why you're being so hostile. Are you reading something between the lines that I didn't put there? Don't take your frustrations out on me, because you know what I can do with silly statements.

For the record, though, out of ALL the people I have spoken to doing an IT-related course (EVER) you are the ONLY one who supports Windows over other operating systems. THE ONLY ONE. And you say I am ignorant? Stupid, even? I have not put my name to any position on the issue, I have simply presented another's opinion, and you have decided to flame me for the statement that was not my own. That, I believe, is as closed-minded as one can get.

Very disappointing, Winny-poo.
