Its almost pathetic enough to make me go open source

OH-MY-FUCKING-GOD

She just set up a new standard in retardation levels.



On a side note, fuck the x.org developers for a commit that made it impossible to properly use my Radeon X550 in my second machine.

 

I haven't been this conflicted in a long time. I don't know whether to be outraged, pissed off, amused, or depressed.

I'm a Windows boy through and through, but this level of ignorance combined with misplaced activism just.....just.......

Gah.

 

Heh heh. Do you think she has trouble keeping her empty head on a pillow with all of that hot air inside?

 

That was pretty impressive. I normally expect that level of stupidity out of the idiots who use Mac's and swear that Vista is completely useless and unfuctional. Most of the people I know running Linux just wanted an OS they could tinker. I could run Linux, but I'm just a little too lazy to learn it. I've equated (and I believe this to be accurate) learning OSX or Linux (when raised using windows, it works in any combination), to learning a foreign language. I think, in all honesty, that's a tad exaggerated if you're a technologically inclined (I could use a Mac with little difficulty if I tried, I think), but for your average 'I read/send email and use a program or two' person, then it's fairly accurate, I think.

 

I'm with DE, if my games would run on linux I'd be completely open sourced in a heartbeat. I do have an old linux box in my basement that I tinker with from time, but I don't really do anything with it at the moment.

It's mostly true what he says about the NEA, most of them do try to push MS products because it's what is being used in most of the classrooms today. There are, however, a few schools that are either all Mac (especially in the elementary schools) or have both mac and windows in the school. He says they could be reprimanded or fired for openly supporting an OS other than MS, but that's just not true.

 

If you want to leave Windows just for the sake of it but Linux is not alternative for you, you could try ReactOS.

 

Windows 98?

 

I liked XP more than Vista, myself. In XP, I didn't have to deactivate my security feature to do anything.

 

I think the Windows 3.x series does all but the Next-Gen stuff. Too bad MS stopped selling licenses for it and supporting it a month ago :'( R.I.P. SkiFree

 

Windows 7, anyone?

 

I'm all with Darkfool and Dark Elf on this one.

I run Windows because it works, and I can play my game. And I'm to lazy to learn a new OS, even though MS sucks.

But I am hoping that windows 7 will do fine.

 

I was raised on Macintosh computers, so I'm pretty familiar with their operating systems. I only switched over to Windows in 2004, but XP is so simple that it took almost no time to acclimate. The only thing I really miss about Mac OS is Crystal Ball. It's the most user friendly D20 character roller and quest creator I've ever used. It slaps PCGen in the face.
