As for the MDI thing, it is that way cause thats how the mainstream users (read idiots) need it too be, so that it is easier to use, and for the more powerusers, theres always the Tile options, built into most MDI applications.
be happy be free, next time you meet a microsoft Employee, buy him a drink, chances are its not his fault, and he is doing his best.
:D (no hard feelings:p)
Oh, Bonker, I guess it was your 120th post. I didn't realize it changes the "Posts" number for each entry in the thread. DOH!!!
This may be the record in General Q & A, but no where near the record for the entire site. The Post Race in the chit chat forum currently has 17915 posts and counting.Quote:

Oh hell, nevermind. That's just too damn big!
You've no chance of catching Post Race :D
No, I already tried that. See the Post Marathon. Lotsa good jokes, but it didn't really catch on. :(
Hum... I'm reading right now, I might participate when I read it 'till the end :)
Just keep posting in it, it's not in the first page :) (I figured that out without opening the link because I noticed it had a "highlight" thingy on it and it usually only appears when you use "search" :p )
How the hell are you getting away with this??? You've scored like 200 posts of nothing but hype.
I love it. Keep it up.
Well I don't love it. It's wasting bandwith for those who need genuine help. Take your MS bashing to Chit Chat (or B. Gates) and leave this bloody thread alone.
chrisjk has a point, but you know the real reason that he wrote that message??? So he could join in on the thread, and up his posts... ;) U nearly got away with it. lol
ha we have kept it in general, is John on vacation or something??
well 1 more post was just too damn tempting (make that 2 after this). However I haven't participated in the entire thread so that lets me off the hook ;)Quote:

Say I all those who agree we should post anymore. ;)
There's always 1. ;)
Well, it started of seriously enough....:D

How many posts should this thread contain then??? I know. Try to get everyone who has a username to post a message here.
This is gettin worse than the
SmashtheCube's ramblings.....
HEY! DONT LOOK AT ME!!! ITS NOT MY FAULT!!!
I agree. We shouldn't post anything else here :p
Hey, do you think they'll remove these posts from our post counts manually if they find out? ;)
probably... i have like 50 posts in here... ill cry if they take them away
Me too :D
Btw, how do you see how much posts do you have in a thread?
Without having to count them :p
I have decided that it is time to lock this thread. Sorry guys :(
If you guys can convince John to move it to chit-chat, I will unlock it. Otherwise, so long!
:(:(:(:(
Wow! I never noticed that this got moved. Well, as I promised, I have unlocked it. :D :p
sorry chris...
i got soo many posts out of this
Hehe :)
Ok, what were you talking about?

Micro$ux has been brainwashing everyone... :) That's there main technology, not computer software, but brainwashing technology!Quote:

WOW Skitchen8, seems like I'm one of them :)
Make that 18... 19 ;)
Btw... my dad is a Microsoft employee (well, almost - he sells their products) and before he did that he compared them to other products (kinda like IE vs. Netscape).
He chose Microsoft without any people influencing his decision (no one brainwashed him :D ), and he still loves Unix. It's just that all summed up, their products are better (well at least most of them).
What you're doing (hating MS without any reason) has a name in Portuguese (yes indeed we have a lot of words for everything), you're all being "broncos" and any other portuguese/brazilian/african/whatever person will surely understand what I mean by using that term :D
Look at Sentience in the Games & Graphics forum! :DQuote:

MICROSOFT RULEZZZZ
:D sorry...
Well hum as you can see I killed the thread but Dynabolic reactivated it. Aren't you gonna flame him or something for what he just said? :D
are you using windows??? Or internet explorer?????
You hate them without any good reasons and still use their products... you DO have a choice, you know that?
I do not approve a lot of Microsoft's actions, but they made some steps which changed the world of computers in a positive way, and I can truly say: I loved Microsoft when they released Windows 2000. It's easy to use, stable, and runs all my favourite software. It's a hell of a lot more stable than other *GUI* OS's which I've tried, most of them crashed within half an hour, not to mention the crappy hardware support...
If you have good reasons to not want to use MS product, then don't. If you do, grow up, or try and make better products with the same amount of functionality!
No I'm not offended, just like a good discussion :)
Then work with it and don't use it at home, it's that easy... (I understand you can't just walk to your boss and tell 'm that you have just formatted your hd and are installing another OS :p)Quote:

Do other OS's don't have updates? Let's take for example Linux, which seems to be the other populair OS for desktop use: how many goddamn kernel releases are there? Too many to count...Quote:

Some of my friends who didn't quit school (yeah, I quit, school didn't teach me anything I didn't already know :p) still have to use Linux, they had to write a device driver for a mouse. After three weeks of struggeling with it they were told they needed to compile a new kernel, because the old one had a bug which caused the example which they got to not work correctly.
I'm taking Linux as an example here, just to show that Windows isn't the only OS with bugs. At least it has a consistent set of features (the API :)), most of them available on any Windows version.
I don't expect MS to make a perfect OS at once, I just expect them to work on it to improve it. Bugs will be there, people will find backdoors, there's no way you can prevent that, all you can do is try and find and fix them....
Hate XP though, don't have any clue why they ever thought seriously about that. :)
There is only 1 microsoft product that i actually like. That is XP, well maybe there is 2 2000 is pretty good. Anyways everything else i hate about them.
Quote:
Um, how much improving do they need??? They have been working on the same OS for around 10 years now!.
How old did you say the other OS's are? New technologies to implement maybe? :p
There monopoly position is drastically going down, Linux is getting more popular and with the arrival of Windows XP I have never heard that many people say it's actually worse than the previous version, so I think they'll have to reconsider their position and start working to better products (instead of fancier looks) if they want to survive on the long run...Quote:
Again, if Microsoft was not a monopoly, even their own products would be better.
On a sidenote: StarOffice is MS Office compatible, so there's another MS product you can throw away :)
Well xp got already a great look!!! That's very important. So you can say there aren't many improvements. Well i think there are.
I don't give a **** about what it looks like. I have the classic style so it just looks like regular windows. I like th other improvements. Like the ability to scroll up in console mode
Great look? Looks like a candy store to me, not an OS. I worked with it for 10 minutes and got annoyed with it.
"Then set it to Classic look"
Then you've got Win2K with less features, more annoying animations, a lot more requirements and even more bugs :)
Win2K can also scroll up in console mode :p
Most people which I've heard saying 'XP is great' came directly from 98 or ME, never even tried 2K. If you did and liked XP better and got a good reason, I would sure like to know :)
well i never had an error in win XP!!!!!!!! I.s.o. win me or even lower...!!!!:mad:
or let's discuss about inet explorer... Do you also use Netscape..
Or talk about office..... Do you use notepad i.s.o word??????
:D Think not eehhhh :D
After installing both XP and 2K on more than 20 computers, I can say that I got more errors with XP than with 2K.
Btw, 2K/XP cannot be compared to 9x/ME, the first are based on the NT kernel, which is a lot more stable than the crappy 9x/ME kernel, so if you want to compare XP to others, first compare to 2K :)
Opera and StarOffice :p
Although I like IE 6 better, it's much more stable than 5 and support about anything you see on the web today...
So now i can take the conclusion you're not a real Mircosoft hater!!!
Me? When did I say that? I said I don't hate MS, but I don't approve all their actions either...
I downloaded Sun's StarOffice beta release (for free)...
But I don't use it...
I hardly use anything office app other than MS Word...
and that's a quality product...
