haha..you guys all complain, and flame microsoft, but from many of your system specs, your all using microsoft software!!!

imo, it's not right to do what ms did, but we dont have to attack them for it.

Get along with the crowd or u would end up beaten:D

lol somthing like that suraswami :roll: (they call stuff pants over on the inq >< )

and tiys, why shouldnt they be attacked for forcing a buggy piece of poopie onto all of their consumers? its blantently obvious that m$ is only about making money.
they get what they deserve (and they dont deserve yahoo for one [seperate topic])
i hope that something bad happens to the company, heads should roll because of vista.
do u know that even after all this time that the its been out for, not one (from my experiance) online submission throught the event viewer works. it has no inplace installation capabilities, and basically sufficates a pc with its poor fatty-boomba kernel.

and shouldnt we be using linux? yeah, we should shame that even when u get cedega and wine and what not it still wont play those expensive game titles you fork out for, but for everything else, linux will get shit done :toast:
