Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Operating System, Mod...
Only $99.99

Sure is 12yo in here...

That still leaves another 95 million copies of Vista to replace.

with balloon tips and stupid flaws that even I could have told them were stupid. But regardless how good or honest M$'s programmers are, their executives are greedy criminals: you're trying to whitewash the corporation.

Anyway, since I quit fiddling with Windows, have a deal of extra time to use in hopes of freeing others.

I do note frequently that those who defend M$ wish to stifle dissent. It's no concern of yours how I spend my time. You do not control *this* forum, and that clearly is what bothers you most.

So now Sir Slick Willy Gates is being hailed as a great person for the cause of the poor? News flash for morons who don't understand the U.S. tax code - a "Foundation" is a means to avoid paying taxes while giving the impression that the donor is some kind of hero.

And addressing Magius, an objective induhvidual would criticize any product who he felt was crap (e.g. Micr0$ucks LoseDoze O/S), and give praise where praise is due. This was an article on the "success" of LoseDoze v7 - certainly the level of success is debatable, as Micr0$ucks has been known to be untrustworthy in their presentation of statistics relating to their superiority. You can live in your own little world and insist that they are completely on the up and up, can be trusted whole-heartedly, etc, but the rest of the world prefers to live in reality.

You know, I never understand you loons. All praise and joy over your favorite OSes while doom and gloom is reserved for the competition. Why?

If you don't like some OS, what is the point of not only reading news regarding it, but also wasting time and energy posting negative comments about it.

Is it insecurity? Is it that you guys feed from each other, making yourselves feel superior after expressing your disdain?

BTW Luddite, writing a good OS is a hard, complicated thing to do. Those hobbyists you refer to? They are pretty damn smart people, not your regular joes, not even your common-type programmer if I dare say. Don't belittle them and their efforts to make your empty remarks into something they aren't.

Yeah, and you should donate to the poor too, instead of spending all of daddy's money in ultra-expensive, overbloated and bug-ridden OSes.

And by the way, super rich old guys who donate tons of money are good OS makers too, now that makes a lot of sense.

Idiocy like this is what holds back the humanity.

INQ always negatively posts the article to Microsoft to lead the reader to the way INQ really wants.
I do not know why INQ does this and the fact is W7 is always the king of OS, no any linux of others to kill it...No way
By the way, is there any millionare in the rest of the world to donate as much as Bill Gates.
Owners of Louise Vitton, all cosmetic owners..What are you doing..donate please..like Bill gates.

Be prepared for gushing by the M$ minion. A barf bag in hand would be a good idea.

But from the negative comment there (few, admittedly, but a consistent tone across several M$ sites that I look into), I'd say the tide has truly turned against M$.

the torrent sites. XP is still hanging in there; Vista seems to have disappeared, oddly. -- For me, free is still too high a price; I've gotten used to never fiddling with the OS as such.

But I now think the whole Vista flop was PR to plant the notion that it had new features, and that it's difficult to write an OS, for the purpose of justifying ridiculous profits, when in fact Linux proves that can be done by essentially hobbyists. -- But I'm sure it IS complicated by adding DRM and NSA backdoors.

£70??
I doubt its anywhere near that for OEM's, government departments, universities and anywhere else that's actually installed it.
I only know of one person who has actually bought a machine with a copy and they asked me how to get the money back after linux was installed.
I must say this for W7 - you seem to need a really good machine to run it - linux really flies on it!

this is probably just as much a manipulated statistical lie as the the vista sales figures

dont believe a word of it. theyve lied before and they'll lie again.

its the way of the liar
