You never seem to read anything good about Microsoft, so here goes. I have 2 computers. 1 is a new one with vista home premium. The other is old with xp. I have only been fooling with computers for a year since I retired. I have gotten all the updates and sps that are out. I have had no major problems with either system. I just thought we should hear something once in a while. thanks |

So what you're saying in Microsoft always invests huge amounts of time and manpower to hurry out a Service Pack to FIX ERRORS you claim most people don't have which is Microsoft's legacy going all the way back to the beginning. Sure pal, sure. I'll buy that. Say, can you make change for my three dollar bill? |

Well I've been "fooling" with computers for better than forty years and I've seen nearly every dumb, stupid, reckless, careless, half-ass, moronic, crazy thing Windows does. Some are real doozies too. Here's a few classics: http://www.aardvarkarchie.com/pictures/work/work033.htm http://www.thehumorarchives.com/joke/Windows_Error_Messages Those were mostly spoofs, but the dummies at Redmond have made some truly senseless error messages of their own like: "keyboard not working, press F1 to continue" Or if you even get in a run away situation where dumb as dirt Vista will open one instance of the same application right after another which is easy to do if you tell your newsreader to download and view say 50 image files in one gulp. Vista being really stupid with open 50 instances of Image Viewer and likely eat up all your resources. Something like this happens: http://youtube.com/watch?v=sYiZKLPj2Fo&feature=related Of course it is nothing new. Lets go back 10 years: Even Billy Gates has problems running Windows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDtniZcoFAw&feature=related You know Frank always takes whatever Bill Gates says as gospel. Listen carefully Frank: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uau0aIbrzkQ&feature=related |

Adam Notbright: you've long ago lost any credibility or respect on Usenet. Apparently those who've met you in real life feel likewise. To be honest, mate, it's not really worth your while keep posting stuff here - we only read it for a giggle (and most of us have killfiled you, anyway). Save yourself the effort. SteveT |
