MS Bad as expected worse than Expected

They have already sold more copies of Vista than the total number of Macs in existence. Your rant sounds more like wishful thinking to me.

They run a company found guilty of criminal behavior and are fighting charges brought by the EU. The richest man on Earth and his sweaty, flunky monkey don’t give a damn about you or anyone else. And they sleep better than you do.

That’s why Bill married her.

He thought it would be funny if she got screwed twice.

Sure, a fairly high percentage of the drones who have used Windows all along will line up
for the latest upgrade. But a fairly significant percentage (the ones whose brains have not
completely atrophied) will be heading for the Apple Store, or doing nothing at all.

Microsoft’s day is done. It may take a few years for it to shrivel into a recognizable likeless
of what it has really been all along (a humongous, misshapen parasite), but it’s a-comin’.
It’s a-comin’.

There once was a young man named Zune Tang
Sycophantic songs about Microsoft he sang
Promoting Vista and Zune
Spelled out his doom
He disappeared with a whimper not a bang.

I just looked at Windows Photo Gallery in Vista (running under Parallels on a MacMini). To even compare it to any application with the the word Photoshop in the title is giving WPG way more credit than it deserves. WPG also doesn’t come close to iPhoto6, which has a much richer feature set and more adjustment settings. The slide show feature in WPG appears to have two settings: on and off–no transition choices, no Ken Burns (love it or hate it), no configuration period.

Except that it is $129US and $199US for OS X.

Otherwise….

Just counting the days when the headline hits the world’s press…

GO ON ADOBE – SUE THE SCAMMER!

This is part of the European Commission website – click on COMP/37.792 to go straight to the Microsoft case, where press releases are set out by date.
Obviously, not all your questions will be answered here but as the case has been going on for a while i suggest that you also google the case to get an all-round idea about it.

The Europa site can be interesting some times.

Trust those commie, lefty, fascists, black-shirts to go after a trustworthy, reputable and honest company like Microsoft, what are they thinking.

Quicktime Player is what Apple bundles with Macs. It can be uninstalled. WMP can’t. The underlying Quicktime technology which Quicktime Player uses and which cannot be uninstalled can be used by any third party software.

So Apple gives you something with the OS that you can use or not and which doesn’t interfere with third party software doing the same job. Microsoft gives you something tied into the OS in such a way that it cannot be removed without damaging the OS and which interferes with third party software doing the same job. That’s the difference.

So, blast away if it makes you feel good, but it won’t change anything.

Vista makes sense, more or less (i.e. after 5 years Microsoft had to release something, anything).

Vista is secure, or at least it’s securer (Let’s not go crazy here with wild exaggerations. We’ll have enough hard data soon by summer 2007).

Vista is expensive and a bit of a resource-hog (i.e. expect to pay big bucks to “enjoy” the “best” that Vista offers then suffer buyer’s remorse after the fact with unmet expectations).

WOW — (invert by innovation) –> MOM = Milk of Magnesia = Another Microsoft turd.

Hey Bill, black mock turtle-necks arn’t that expensive you know.

Nothing respulses me more than the concept of “Live” – a computer shouldn’t need the internet to work. The internet shouldn’t be its center of gravity. Bandwidth isn’t free – most “Unlimited” plans aren’t. My computer should go online because I want it to when I want it tofor whatever purpose I want or allow it to, not because some app wants to check if there’s any update, or because Microsoft decides you need a patch right now (no matter what you happen to be doing) to close some critical vulnerability that is clobbering Vista users all over the world.

Our OS. Our computer. You’re just the mark, sucker.

Look at the sentence that follows the embarrassment to American innovation line, “but it’s perfectly fine.” It’s PERFECTLY FINE? Then why should I care? No need to worry.

You all clap as if this is the review that finally broke the mold when TIME created excuses for Microsoft just like everyone else.

Spot on…

There’s is no doubt in my mind that what you say is true. In some important ways the only hope MS Windows has at all, in the long run, is that Apple will indeed finally take an unarguable 30-50% of the pc market share over the next 10 years, forcing MS to actually churn out actually improved products rather than, yet another layer of fixes and superficial bamboozalling [sp?].

POOK! POOK! Vie hastayu abadonadad imer?

Chair flicker wogranamator!

Zune Tang inner mai kugglemacker! NOWEN!

(To assuage the Mac faithful: yes, many of Vista’s features are pilfered directly from Mac OS X, and in general Apple has shown itself to be far more efficient and innovative in the operating systems market. Done.)

Now, if anyone actually reads it….

Our potential, our passion — our porn.

I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time…

“Vista is a better OS than XP … except that it doesen’t… or…… or……”

“Funtionality is in Vista. Look at the photo editor, which is integrated with the operating system and which works like a stripped-down version of the already-stripped-down Photoshop Elements.”

In other words,it has this neat feature, that is not very good and even less good than some other crap… LOL I love it.

Why is a PC users idea of better, just better than the last piece of crap I was using?????
