well they ARE admit it there products prices re 100$ and up and there online service costs money whilst the competition offers it for free!
T_T someone I can agree with, I never had problems using microsoft made programs. But people install all this shit on their computer and when it crashes they blame microsoft. You get a virus it's microsoft's fault. But like you said apple is tight fisted with what you can and can't do (we needed a legal ruling to say we can jail break devices), and linux users are morons who bash microsoft like they are unqiue. I use windows and linux, both work great. But no one ever bashes Sony, Apple, EA, Acitivsion for the crap they pull and if you do fans will come and bash you for it.Generic Gamer said:
I liked Vista. It did everything I needed it to do. Call me a moron for not liking the same stuff as you or agreeing with you. I dare you.martyrdrebel27 said:
you know, despite my defense of microsoft, i also made it clear that i know they're not good guys. i don't think they're good or evil. i only defend them now because they catch a lot of undue shit from people, and i find it ridiculous.
but my problem isn't so much with the M$ because they're a defensable company in the same way that any business is, but really more a fight of asthetics. i'm sick of seeing that stupid meme, fad, trend. whatever the hell you want to call it. it's annoying to look at. and okay, throw one in every now and then, but for it to be the rule rather than the exception is just watering your point the fuck down. it's like when your normally awkward friend or associate tells a joke and gets his peers/coworkers to actually laugh for once, and feels loved, so he tells that SAME FUCKING JOKE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. i don't get it, usually the internet has the attention span of a fucking zygote, but this thing just. won't. fucking. die.

meh, vista wasn't as terrible as i expected it to be after hearing about it so much, but i liked xp better.SilentBobsThoughts said:
i had a vista issue with windows media player not playing anything, and it turned out to have something to do with Media Foundation Protected Pipeline, something that ate a shit load of memory and prevented WMPlayer from working, so i switched to iTunes (ugh, what a horrible piece of shit that is, in my opinion) and after some service pack updates and time, i think it worked itself out, it played music by accident once, i just never tried, all my music is now in aac format for itunes. i just haven't gone back. and in vista, WMPlayer is like... built in, it's not a program, so i couldn't delete and redownload.
and vista ALWAYS asks me 3 or 4 fucking times if i'm sure i wanna do something, if i have the authority, and has plain told me i DONT have the permission to do something on a computer purchased, owned, and operated EXCLUSIVELY by me...
its not bad, but it certainly isn't good. in my experience.

Hmm. ran out of ideas here. What does the ''£'' look like? A ''L''?
OT:Seriously though, it's the internet, and it's just a small thing. There are far worse things to get annoyed about.

Thank you. I have argued with my cousin to a point where I nearly punched him (Not anything to do with the I dare you part of my post) because he seemed it appropriate to insult me because he likes to fuck around with his computer and change important settings ect, when my Vista did everything I needed it too, and how Windows 7 is so OMG AMZNG! and I have Windows 7 now, and Vista on my other laptop, but I've gotta say, Windows 7 is kinda annoying, I'm used to different things I guess.martyrdrebel27 said:
Micro$oft bought out companies by the truckload, only to fire their employees.
It's called "Business Torpedoing" and it's a downright dirty tactic.
You see, once Micro$oft (or anyone else) has ownership of a company, they own all assets developed by that company, which includes source code and trademarks.
So, they buy out a company who has spent time and effort on something that could compete, M$ gets whiff of it, and buys them out.
They ice/integrate the product they produced and fire all the employees to save costs.
Now that company has to start over from scratch, and cannot use anything that resembled the original code for their product, because it could be brought up in court by Micro$oft under charges of "Reverse Engineering".
Unethical, but technically legal and wildly profitable, since they were the only business left in town. Between that and bullying computer manufacturers into making Windows the one und only OS they can load, it's easy to see how Mr Gates (representing his company, no less) ended up addressing Congress in 1998.
Make no mistake, Micro$soft hasn't changed; it's just that there is actually a real market for them to compete with now (full of other underhanded unethical assholes).
I don't forgive Micro$oft, nor do I forgive the fact that they were permitted to continue their business pretty much unaltered after spending a short time in the penalty box.
You can say I'm petty for calling them that; fine, but I will call you naive' for defending them and thus their practices.

wrong or bad is always just relatives if everyone in the world would believe dead is fun we'd all be doing mass suicide
yes he is the head but believe me he really only approves certain things every now and then trust me even in smaller comenies like the martin gaus company the head (martin gaus) does very little bosses of companies are useually old and they just own it and approve things and do money stuff that's there jobKavachi said:
