this is just a pole i decided to set up to see how many people absolutely hate windows

rick030391 · 02-24-2006, 05:14 PM

i love windows really ( not!)

SciYro · 02-24-2006, 05:18 PM

im not bothered, if i had to use it, i would hate it, but my daily life leaves ms crap away from here, so i voted not bothered.

ye, there are two ways i find windows had better than linux, windows is easier to install, and easier to use, but it always breaks, has millions of bugs, virus's, all that sort of stuff, and it WONT SEE A LINUX PARTITION!!!!!!! I HATE IT!!!

I don't hate Windows, I dislike Microsoft. There is a major difference. I feel this thread is really here to go nowhere. This is going to end in long inflammatory rants.

i dont hate windows OR microsoft. i think windows is a decent operating system. i just prefer gentoo and freebsd over it.

rick030391 · 02-24-2006, 05:35 PM

yep, you are probably right, i spend most days bitching about windows

Hate's too strong of a word. I'd say I'm more disappointed, than anything.

Next time, set up a **poll**----not a "pole".....

It is not useful to talk about hating anyone or anything. The issue is having options---and the positive talk is about why you chose something--not why you did not chose something else.

If given absolute power, I would first go after a government that cannot figure out how to break a monopoly that is arguably one of the most pervasive we have ever seen. Realistically, however, our current administration is so universally inept that dropping the MS antitrust action is buried in the noise.

I like Windows--I appreciate the things that I can do---but I do not appreciate the lack of choice.

I will never again buy MS products, but I do not hate MS

ye, i've heard that windows vista is meant to be really good, but demands a really good graphics card(it should be a good os, it is 5 years late for gods sake)!!

rick030391 · 02-24-2006, 05:51 PM

ok, i think i understood a bit of that, windows is good in some ways, but bad in a lot ,more.

We already have a Linux vs Windows thread running. Closed.

Mega Man X · 02-24-2006, 06:20 PM

I don't think it's closed

slantoflight · 02-24-2006, 08:03 PM

No its definitely not.

Personally, I like windows. Windows rox my sox. Its one of the easiest operating systems to carry out my hobby.

I agree. I will use Windows if I have to, but certainly not by choice anymore.
