Why didn't you post this in a new threat. And you can't mount a music CD just play it.
To oopicmaster(?),what are you trying to prove??Any way,your arguements will not have any takers here.because they are invalid arguements.I,personaly,am not an MS basher as such.I am using a duel boot.fine??So what do you want us to do??To leave linux???its not going to happen.If you want to use linux,use it.If you dont want,dont use it.Dont try to change our stands,because it is not going to happen.Because we use linux not because 'some friend's opinion',we have got perfect reason to use linux.That is it.And that is why linux is the fastest growing OS for the last three years??
BTW,do you work for MS Public Relations??
to others,Why should we waste our time spending on this thread anymore??

I understand you will work for anyone,provided they pay you 5.00/hrs.(Is your family members are also like this??If yes,feel free to contact me.!!I am in a condition to pay more!!!!!)I am not in a situation where i should sell my heart and soul to someone for 5.00/hr.I know how to 'reply' to this remark,but my culture doesnt allow me to do so in such a serious forum.Moreover,I express my deepest sympathy to you on your brain's present working condition,but what can we humans do other that pray for recovery??

This guy is not interested in getting answers for his questions,or working in linux.He just wants to attract some attention.He just wants to irritate us.
Wow, I've not been checking my e-mails for a while, and my inbox was full of this thread only . It's just amazing what bored, incapable of learning something different (or learning anything at all) and probably lonely peoples with no friends as oopicmaster can do to get some attention, isn't it? I kinda feel sorry for him...
Everybody "vote oopicmaster" at the console... oh wait, this is not CS . Anyway, I'll unsubscribe too...
I understand you will work for anyone,provided they pay you 5.00/hrs
Yes, for 5.00/hour without Health benefits you can hire MOST if not ALL of India's technical talent, and work them 20 hours a day. You haven't heard? We in the US surely have!
