Personally I still don't think Microsoft is evil, since when is it against the american way to succeed?

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

I don't either, but inflammatory comments get more people to click on the link and reply to the thread I created. Thus feeding my ego.

I think the main problem people have is the numerous bugs with Microsoft, ie: the blue screen of death and how programs sometimes shut down for no apparent reason.

Most people who talk about the BSOD have never seen one. Hint: it's an NT kernel panic

Puh. Blue screen of death.

Why make it blue when it can be -red-? [Big Grin]

Posted by MrSquicky (Member # 1802) on :

Because research showed that there was 17% less throwing-the-whole-damn-thing-out-the-window-ness when the screen was blue as opposed to red.
