Save Windows XP

[scorpkahnpoop]

There was a bug in phpbb2 that caused there to be two posts. Since the bottom one was longer, I had to find something to edit the top one with.

[Wraith]

Buggy, bloated and insecure. Also Windows was made by Microsoft, one of the most evil companies ever.

Buggy: anything with as many commercial aps as Windows is going to be buggy. Ooh, Macs don't seem to crash with any of the twelve apps most people use on it? Amazing.

Macs have plenty of apps and if only more people had sense and more people programmed for macs.

If by "plenty" you mean .01% of how many Windows have, then yes. They have "plenty" of apps.

Bloated: exactly which parts do you consider bloat?

All of it.

Notepad is bloat? Seriously? What's MAC got that's less bloated than notepad?

Insecure: you realize that there have been more security vulnerabilities discovered in MAC OS's than there have been in Vista in the past year, right?

Because Apple get rid of them.

Yea. Just like Microsoft does when Windows vulnerabilities are discovered. That's pretty standard. The point is that Microsoft hasn't had to do that as often in the past year for Vista as Apple has for MAC.

More Windows/Microsoft/Bill Gates jokes:

What's the difference between Windows 1.0 and Windows Vista?


21 years.

Really? Then could you show me where the DOS core is? Because Windows 1 was just a DOS shell.

Oh, you'd have to know a damn thing about computers to realize that. Why was I thinking you would?


What's the difference between a iMAC and a bronzed piece of excrement, painted white, with a lower-case "i" written on it?

About $1800.00

What does an air conditioning system and a PC have in common?


They don't work when you open windows.

They work for me. Maybe if you had some clue what you were doing.


What does your mom and a PC have in common?

They'll both happily take whatever I want to put in them, and constantly want to show me increasingly dirty things.

Customer: Help me please. I've just got Windows you see.
Tech support: Yes. How can we help you?
Customer: Well I need to know whats wrong with my PC.
Tech support: You've already stated the problem.

A Mac user found a magic lamp with a Genie in it. The Genie said he wasn't as powerfull as other Genies and could only grant one wish. So the Mac User brought out a map of the Middle-East and asked the Genie if he could bring peace to the people there. The Genie said "Ah, you see, its hard to do that. Those people have been fighting for years. Its a religion thing, and about territory. Why as soon as they are teenagers, they go to war. Pick something else." So the Mac User said, "can you make my MAC not suck?" The Genie shook frowned. "Let me take a look at those maps again....."

Customer: My MAC doesn't seem to do anything I want it to.
Tech support: Interesting but please state your problem.
Customer: That is my problem.
Tech support: Everything seems normal to me.

Fixed.

And Firefox says Microsoft can't be trusted:

Huh. Doesn't do that on my system. There must be something wrong with yours. Using a Mac are we?

[Citin]

I was waiting for Wraith to fins this thread, thank you sir you didn't disappoint.

And again I've never had problems with Vista and I've had it since August, besides which who really cares if they stop selling Vista it costs $250 anyways up here and why anyone would ever spend that much money on it....

[scorpkahnpoop]

Fucking unbelievable how much shit I wasted my time reading.

At least I know I'm doing the right thing.

[iloatheyou]

LOL

i cant believe this guy humping the shit out of microsoft.

"oh fuck me harder billy"
"oh yeah right there"

idk about you, but every time i click on anything on any window's computer i must sit there and wait...and wait...and wait...before it even loads. then once it starts loading...god forbid i click another app. the whole fucking system will start dying while im screaming at the computer to fucking work because all i'm doing is opening firefox and clicking on aim.

while on a mac i can do the same thing without any troubles. at all. ever.

please. once more. explain to me the superiority windows OS has over Mac OS. ohh yaay gaming...yeah, not for everyone.

[scorpkahnpoop]

You can play quite a few games on macs and they run very well. I've heard they run better than on Windows with a lower spec. Which makes sense, doesn't it.

The sims (original) requires 32MB RAM on windows but only 2MB on a mac lol

[Wraith]

Fucking unbelievable how much shit I wasted my time reading.

Really? How? Gun? Hanging? Wrist-slitting?

...uhhh

Who the hell are you, and why does your head smell like GodofGo...I mean, "scorp"'s ass?

idk about you, but every time i click on anything on any window's computer i must sit there and wait...and wait...and wait...before it even loads.

Well, that you get for dropping $300.00 on a piece of crap from Wal-Mart. Upgrade it, give it a tune-up, and clean off some of the viruses you got from surfing kiddie porn.

then once it starts loading...god forbid i click another app. the whole fucking system will start dying while im screaming at the computer to fucking work because all i'm doing is opening firefox and clicking on aim.

while on a mac i can do the same thing without any troubles. at all. ever.

I guarantee you that I could build you a system for 2/3 the price of a mac that will FLY. Mine does.

please. once more. explain to me the superiority windows OS has over Mac OS. ohh yaay gaming...yeah, not for everyone.

One word: versatility. How man different manufacturers can you buy Macs from? One. You want a Mac, you go to Apple. You want to upgrade? You go to apple. You want service? You go to Apple.

I want a computer, I go to Dell. If they don't have exactly what I want, or they decide to jack up the price too much, I can go to Gateway or HP. Or I can build my own. How many Macs have you built? I can choose the mother board, anything from an $80.00 Intel board with built in graphics and sound for a stable, inexpensive workstation, or $300.00 for a suped-up, SLI compliant nforce850i-based board with support for four graphics cards independantly power four displays, or work together to power one (NOTHING will put a dent in your frame rate with that configuration). I can get a cheap Pentium-D or a ridiculously powerful quad-core C2E. Or I can skip Intel all together and get an AMD. I can stuff it all in any one of a thousand cases, with acousting dampening, lighting effects and liquid cooling. If something breaks? Not a problem. I can go to one of half a dozen stores, and come back with a replacement made by any one of a hundred companies and be back up in running in no time. Once it's built, I can use any one of a million applications, I can chose from two dozen products that will do anything you want to do on a MAC, and depending on how much I'm willing to invest, will do it better. And don't even get me started on games!





Orrrr I could go to the MAC store in the mall, resisting the urge to punch-out the pretentious pricks who have all drank Jobs' Kool-Aid and somehow convinced themselves that their inability to figure out how to use a real computer and subsequently bought the shiny plastic luddite toy designed to pander to the technologically incompetent somehow makes them superior, and pick up one of the four types of MAC's they have, then show off just how much of a consumer-whore I am by slapping the apple logo all over me, and wearing "Apple aperal" that might as well just replace the logo with "I joined the cult of Apple and am hoping to some say move my way up to the position of Steve's personal ball-washer."

Thanks anyway, new kid; but my brain still works properly.

Thank you, thank you. I liked it.

[Pattmyn]

Ya know, I was going to jump in here and back up Wraith, but I think he's got most of the points covered.

[zombine]

buy XP

hehehehehe, buying XP

oh Red Charlie, you hilarious crimson comedian, I love you.

[Rain]

Sigh...
I work on computers every once in a while. Vista has is its fuck ups, but every thing does. the UAC it there to people cant fick up the OS as fast. the UAC can but shut off in 5 min, plus a restart. its not the hard.
Wraith is has good point. its A program. if you dont like it, stop bitching! use Mac Or Linux!
Every program is its plus and minus. Mac is easy, and is good for art. Linux is good for programing and hacking. Yes i said hacking. Vista, XP and sever env 2003 is all about working.
most games are for Windows, and Mac. Linux is getting some good game. but best for programing is all.
but all and all its
A CHOICE! so Stop bitching!

[Sable]

but all and all its
A CHOICE! so Stop bitching!

Thread is evolving!

Evolved into...Sensible Statement!

Thread Over!

[Citin]

Yeah can this end before it returns to fanboy, buttfaggitry?

[scorpkahnpoop]

"The sims (original) requires 32MB RAM on windows but only 2MB on a mac lol"

End of.

Versatility = incompatibility also.

[Pattmyn]

Yeah can this end before it returns to fanboy, buttfaggitry?

Too Late! It's a trap!

[scorpkahnpoop]

Vista, XP and sever env 2003 is all about working.

But do they work? lol

but all and all its

Very true... But I still want to rip Bill Gates heart out.

[Pattmyn]

Yes, they do quite well in fact. Have you ever seen a properly managed domain? Your elementary school doesn't count.

but all and all its

Very true... But I still want to rip Bill Gates heart out.

Wow...never thought I'd hear someone want to rip the heart out of a guy who donates BILLIONS to the problems of the world most would prefer to ignore.

QQ less, punk.

[Red Charlie]

I would just like to declare my love for wraith where he can argue good points logically and to the issue with no pansy footing about...

By the way about UAC.




You can find that THREE CLICKS from the start menu. THREE I mean it couldn't be any simpler even if a new user to a pc didn't know where to find it someone intelligent like myself could EASILY describe it to them.

I like Vista I have no problem with Vista. I am however getting fed up with this "Vista suck teh balls." Infact with Service Pack 1 released some games that I couldn't play before are magically functioning now without any problems. Even then those games I hardly played but still, I can play them now! Woop. (Mainly Savage 2 it wasn't working before hand but now it is so yeah).

[scorpkahnpoop]

We'd probably solve the world of problems with the time spent getting angry at are computers.

If Bill Gates donated nothing then he definitely has something wrong with him but he does but it only prevents him being a bad person in that area. It doesn't stop him being bad in others and he doesn't seem to donate a lot from what I can see.

I'm tired so my opinions may lack quality.

I wasn't serious about the hart ripping BTW.

With XP Baldur's Gate runs screwy, always blue screening - I here there's patches, but nothing has really worked (once again, probably because my computer is dying slow, not XP's fault.) If someone could guarantee to me that Vista would let me play the first Baldur's Gate again, straight out of the box with no difficulties, I would officially take back any bad thing I ever said about Windows.

Then again, I may just do that as Wraith's intensity about this issue frightens me a little. I mean, I can't stand creationist bullcrap, but you wouldn't get me taking time out of my day to post very long posts debunking everyone of their 3 pathetically misguided points.

Maybe it's Wraith's avatar... the eyes judge meeeee!

[scorpkahnpoop]

My avatar rules all. Bow down the the gman!

lol. That could be a song.

[Pattmyn]

My avatar rules all. Bow down the the gman!

I could piss a better animation out from Garry's Mod.

[scorpkahnpoop]

lol. Tell that to the person who made it.
