Why do you Hate Windows

New2Lindows · 08-14-2003, 01:10 AM

Just wondering since a lot of people hate Windows, why do you? I've made a list of options to pick from. I do pretty much hate Windows.

all of the above. the same week i finally installed linux I had bsod's every 3-4 days and a program freeze at least once a day. such hell to do daily activities.

You gave multiple options, and even the choice for all of the above, but your poll is in the form of only 1 choice when more than 1, but not all, might apply

Oh, and I don't hate windoze, I just tend to enjoy my Linux too much to bother with the trials of it

Cool

Shortly thereafter they got access to a PDP-10 run by a private company in Seattle. The company offered free time to the Lakeside school kids to see if they could crash the system. Gates proved to be particularly adept at doing so. When the free time ran out Gates and Allen figured out how to get free time on the PDP-10 by logging on as the system operator. About a year later the private company running the PDP-10 went bankrupt.

I see that Billy boy hasn't lost his touch, then.

yeah i don't hate windows either actually. i disliked that it took a long time to boot up and random things would happen that i couldn't figure out and i couldn't figure out how to get rid of them. but in general, for what i used it for it worked perfectly fine. linux does too. i just have more opporunity to do neater things in linux than windows.

The best way to install windows

Brain Drop · 08-14-2003, 10:08 AM

i hate windows. i hate windows a lot. ms has put blinders on the people. its like in the matrix, everyone thinks that windows is just how it is until you try linux and find out there is a whole different computer world out there. a better one.
that is why we must always work to spread the word of linux and wake more people up to the goodness.

I don't hate Windows, I just don't like the way Microsoft conducts business, false promises and such about their goals and products. Their like the government, they seem to not stick to their original plan. Oh well...

No need to hate Windows. Windows does some things good and Linux does some things good. Both have their place

Well, I suppose we have to give the script kiddies something to keep them occupied.

Several reasons I hate windows:
go to http://mslinux.org, there are some reasons there...
and http://microsucks.com

There's always some kind of upgrade for everything.

Their damn eula's or should I say "contract with the devil"

They're closed source. Affraid of letting their spaghetti code out to the public.

They re-release everything with a nice colorful gui three months later but costs twice as much.

i dont hate windows, imho there nt based stuff is pretty good. what i dont like is the new licence agreements that microsoft has been coming up with for xp. if people actually start and read them then i think microsoft is gonna start losing alot of its customers.
