[View Quote] Yes, I have. I am a great supporter of the "linux cause". I have Darwin on
my mac, and had linux, until a while ago on another machine. When I get
around to it, its going on this machine. I may not be a hardcore addict
like you, but I do know my stuff.

Are you sure about that?

Ok, so, use WINE.

Why, yes I did have a look at it. My arguement about the knife salesman
still stands about the front article. The only use for the site that I
found is the list of non-microsoft operating systems, although not complete,
it is still, somewhat massive.

Suuuure it is.

They were taken to court, they lost, but then won. They still, won. Sure,
they lost in the begining, but the appeals court said that they were free,
they won.

Think, use commen sense. Have you ever seen another human fly? Its so fake
you can almost see the cables that hold them up.

Uhm, excuse me? I am a hardcore mac user, I also love linux and what its
doing. I spent a week 600 miles from home and spent enough money to live
for a month to learn the fundimentials of linux. I not another anti-linux
person.

Ok, does Activeworlds have its counterpart in unix, linux, darwin, OS9?
Maybe atmosphere... Thats still a far way aways from AW.

If it was bad for them, wouldnt it not be on the market? :)

Oh, but I am listening. You also wernt ranting, there are plenty of other
people that would have gutted me alive in here for saying that I liked
microsoft.

Ya see here's the issue I have you "its either black or its white" type of
people. No-one here is claiming to be "pro-Microsoft", just not
"anti-Microsoft". Why does everyone have to have the same extreme views you
do?


[View Quote] Perhaps you should read and try linux, macs, BSD before you say microsoft is
the best.

Thought I said not to respond.. oh wait no one pays attention.. Right..
Since this is turning into a personal attack, I'm asking you nicely to stop
with this thread.

Well... theres been a lot of "supposed" conspericys such as the Illumiti (My
favorite) Aliens... Microsoft taking over the computer world... and so on.
Im for some of the Microsoft programs (Im not being paid to do this ether
>:) ) And want to see hard evidence that Microsoft is pure evil and all
lies... and is bent on taking over the market (But who dont want to run the
market?) Maybe if some people took the time to research the facts and look
it up and not believe the first thing they hear the world would be a better
place.

I cant say Microsoft is perfect or anything (No one is, or will be) And have
don't some sleazy things. And so have many other companies. Ide like to see
some company thats perfict and everyone should be like. . . Also just
because you dont like something dosn't make it evil or bad, just means you
dont like it.

Who do you think you are then - telling people to stop posting? And where
was ther personal attack?

Am I to assume from you're silence that you have no reasons to share with us
that VC++ is a crap compiler and that, apart from maybe a dodgy company that
builds and distributes the product, that people should not be deterred from
using it if that is their preference?

If there is some reason to avoid it, then that is useful information here
.... or is this why you are keen to kill the thread all of a sudden?

Because I'm done arguing a point that's true. And done arguing when I said
do not reply and you still did, let the thread die. I never said to any one
person that their view was wrong.. nor singled out someone, you did, you
singled out me. That is a personal attack, mine was stating the facts that
I've witnessed and viewed. Now, let me try this again, DO NOT REPLY. Or
will you not follow simple directions.. even after I asked nicely before
this one.

He seems hate companys with a larger than 75% grasp on the market, and
monolpys... He hates them all it seems like. He dont like DishNetwork cuz
they own all the satellite companys and there the only ones left. Seemingly
Microsoft is a huge company but is not a monolpy... there are thousdands of
software develpors out there Many we all know and some we dont. So whats
wrong with microsoft??? Maby its because there a big company that makes a
lot of money we want... Or maby there just selling things better and other
people cant make enought money to compete so they think there evil...

Omfg are you stupid? There are only 2 Desktop Marketed Operating systems..
unless every software developer in the country has made an operating system,
they're not in competition with microsoft or apple. Linux is a free OS so
don't say that's one of them. And let me explain this to you again DishNet
is not the only satilite company, in order for it to be a monopoly as well
it'd need to be the only company in the world to offer TV entertainment
services.. but there is TimeWarner, DirectTV, DishNet, Cox cable, etc etc.
I'm tired of discussing this with you, Microsoft is a monopoly because it
itself holds more then 75% on the Desktop market, while apple holds little
over 15% and Mac OS X only works on the macintosh systems, not on PCs so
Micrsoft IS the only company that *sells* the desktop for the intel
compatible computer. (don't say IBM's OS/2 is pretty much a windows clone it
was built and designed by Microsoft for IBM) And I'm going to point back to
linux and other Unix clones in saying it's a free OS, thus it doesn't hold
part of the market. Now let this freaking thread die.. it's long enough as
it is. Windows is not better, I've already stated that you can do the exact
same things in other operating systems that are free. Ease of use and
installation is no longer difficult with Linux as well. These aren't
wayward facts read off the internet, they're truth, so don't use that point
again. Unless you can explicitly prove otherwise with a non-ms sponsered
site. (that includes AZ.net and download.com -- news sites like CNN would
be the place to look) Now, die thread.

Darwin, Mac OS X, does work on intel x86 processors :). Read up before you
fly off the handle. Linux is a free OS, but in some cases, its not, you can
purchase different kernels. You also seem to think that theres only linux,
winblows, and Macintosh operating systems. What about HP-UX, Unix, FreeBSD,
and all the other operating systems? Those are commonly used, not as much
as linux, but they are still used a lot. I know windows is not better, but,
as you say, more than 75% of the world runs on it, so, blend in, stop going
bitch-nuts because someone likes Microsoft. Your not going to change their
ways. Its ok... We are still waiting for a valid list of what makes VC++
bad... Provide it, and this thread will die.

Mac OS X isn't designed to work on Intel x86.. you read up.. it's designed
for Macintosh archs. Darwin BSD is designed for it but the coding for OSX
doesn't allow it.

Limme explain do your home work next time... Dish Net is the only one
left... TimeWarner dont exist no more, nether Does PrimeStar... DirectTV is

them.Also Direct TV Ownd primestar before dish owned them.

If your talking about the GUI, yes. But everything else is in the x86
build. You can also solve the problem of the GUI with setting up Xwindows
on top. Easy.
