Pre-Microsoft computers* were no more a pain for those who learned on them
than were Microsoft computers* a pain for those who learned on them.
OK so that needed a comma "Pre-M$, computers were a pain"
then it becomes for those who learned on IT. because my blue computer was
completely different than my brown computer. Now ive gone and done it, I
know the blue one was blue, but was the brown one brown???? DANG IT!!!
if you want to work with M$ you can they will let you, you have to pay,
and you have to play by there rules, but it works.
After all, MS prefers zero competitors. Zero. Which is why "It" (your "it"
above) doesn't work most of the time.
Any business would prefere to have zero competition!
and according to

I'd say IT worked!!!
the poor dude is down to #3 such a bummer, his toilet water is probibly more
expensive than what I have in my bank account right now :D
an auto mechanic doesnt get paid on the same level if he has to use shop
tools! an electrition that shows up at your home or business with no
tools doesnt get the work (at least at my house), ever loan the plumber
your auger to run your sewer line for a clog??
Neither the mechanic nor the plumber is a monopolist.
I guess that point was lost, sorry! I was refering to the mechanic/plumber
as the computer user not M$. How many companies make snap-on tools? what
about that RIGID power auger. OOH I know that pro-mechanic can use
Craftsman HEHEHE
After just spending $2500 to keep current with M$ Id say Ill skip the
mechanic using Craftsman!!! On second thought that poor dude using Craftsman
might give me a break ive just spent $2500 on M$ :D :D :D
* What is a Microsoft computer anyway? AFAIK, Microsoft has never made
computer.
I don't know :D however could one call a M$ computer any computer in which
say Intel/AMD changed plans in there processor family in order to run M$
software better??? how about hard drives being designed to run windows
better? the list of hardware manufacturers that are tweaking there hardware
so it runs on M$ Winhozed better is long. I think I remember something about
that, at least every time a new piece of hardware is released. Or if your
brain hurts how about an X-Box :D though thats hopefully clearly not what I
ment.
& [My own rant] I can't comment on the rest of your self-described rant
because the run-on-forever sentences and lack of capitalization makes my
eyes hurt to much to finish reading it. If you want your opinion to be
taken seriously, at least present it in a manner that at least /tries/ to
appear intelligent (i.e. follow at least /some/ of the rules of grammar).
Im glad you read any of it at all.
I still dont see how another company deserves a handout to help them
compete.
Want to compete. I'm ALL for it. Find a better product (who cares how) but
it had better be better, not just an alternative. Because this "Its better
because its not M$" is not going to work. Set a better price, ok how about a
fair price Winhozed isnt really that expensive. Find a marketing department
to come up with a name, this will help you NOT come up with stupid names
like lindows. Create catchy advertisements. And in one year spend 1/5 of
what M$ spends on marketing in a day.
again thanks for the read
